Did your school require you to collect teeth for school?

Hi,

In the Predent Forum we were talking about this. If those of you who are currently dental students would let us know if your school made you collect teeth and how many approximately, that would be great!

I know Nova asks you to collect about 70 or so teeth.
I believe Arizona asks you to collect some teeth for endo Tx practice
 
At the University of Florida we are required to have extracted teeth... it isnt that bad- if you dont have any dentists willing to help you out your classmates should have enough to go around. Most people around in class have an ample supply of teeth, make sure you get as many teeth as you can because a lot of them wont be worth working on. Basically put about 15 minutes of effort into calling a dentist you will be able to get as many teeth as you would like.
 
Creighton requires you to collect teeth. I would recommend collecting as many as you can find for the previously mentioned reasons.
