Some dentists feel insecure in the management of medical emergencies as it has been pointed out in the SMfZ already. The focus on a national investigation by means of questionnaire was the training supply in emergencies as well as the course attendance by dentists. The results of this investigation proved, that about half of the dentists, practicing in Switzerland keep themselves more or less up-to-date. They know about the right measures in case of an accident that may put vital functions at risk. However, this investigation also showed that we know little or nothing about the other half of practicing dentists in our country. In the last part of the paper a project of an e-learning course on medical emergencies in the dental office is disclosed.
