关于哪种分级系统（字母分级或通过/失败）在牙科教育中更有效的讨论已经发生了几十年。随着越来越多的机构继续考虑将传统的五级字母评级系统（A/B/C/D/F）改为两级评级系统（及格/不及格），这一争论可能会继续下去。这篇观点/对位文章探讨了支持和反对每种类型的评分系统的论点，考虑到学习成绩，学习成果，心理健康，学习环境，研究生教育课程的接受/表现，以及学生的动机。观点1支持通过/失败系统改善牙科学生的学习体验的立场，而观点2认为，传统的字母评分系统提供了更客观和可靠的学生评价。
Discussions about which grading system (letter grade or pass/fail) is more effective in dental education have been occurring for several decades. As more institutions continue to consider the change from the traditional five-tier letter grading system (A/B/C/D/F) to a two-tier grading system (pass/fail), this debate will likely continue. This point/counterpoint article examines arguments for and against each type of grading system, taking into consideration academic performance, learning outcomes, psychological well-being, learning environment, acceptance/performance in postgraduate educational programs, and student motivation. Viewpoint 1 supports the position that a pass/fail system improves learning experiences for dental students, whereas Viewpoint 2 argues that the traditional letter grading system provides for more objectivity and reliability in student evaluation.
