Although currently in the Peruvian educational system there is no accrediting body for the various dental schools to safeguard minimum quality standards, such as in schools of Human Medicine . The need for international recognition has become an ideal by compelling universities to hold the excellence of their careers, which is very adventurous and declare for the record that a college is the best in their field without objective support behind them. Thinking about it, the 3 most important faculties of Dentistry of the country have embarked on ambitious projects that aim to achieve recognition through international accreditations. There are many certification companies that offer their services to evaluate the educational quality of an institution and how this is going to be a function of several aspects such as infrastructure, curricula, degree of specialization of faculty, profile of graduates and research output, they require each of these points satisfies the conditions of certification, but is also true that reputable companies differ from each other, both in the level of demand as in the prestige acquired that gives an added value of reliability that inevitably impact on the accreditation. Not having these common patterns and rigors accrediting like can be passive to be compared to determine, in healthy competition, a school ranking in terms of dental education is concerned. Peruvian universities, whose faculties of dentistry or stomatology have opted for an international accreditation are: USMP (University of San MartÃn de Porres), UPCH (Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia), San Marcos University (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos). Each of these schools have achieved or are in the process of accreditation with different international organizations, with different demands and rigors. So UPCH and chose UNMSM competent accrediting the regional and the ANC and RIEV, which discuss in depth later, on the other hand, the USMP is designed in a serious process of accreditation with the CODA organization ADA (American Dental Association), an institution that runs the designs of dentistry worldwide.
The National Accreditation Council (CNA), the local agency under the Colombian state for university accreditation in that country, is the entity that recently renewed the accreditation awarded to the faculty of Dentistry UPCH , it can be reported that the accreditation granted by the Colombian CNA educational institutions beyond its borders, is in pilot phase as indicated by the institution in a statement .
The International Network of Appraisers (RIEV) accrediting Mexican novel in Peru have found a wonderful market to develop its certification function, since not only dental school of the Universidad Mayor de San Marcos has gone to it, but also the medical faculties of universities UPCH, USMP, UNSA, UCSM, URP. Not counting records accreditation to other universities in Latin America.
The CODA (Commission on Dental Accreditation) dependence ADA (American Dental Association) , maximum respect of dentistry worldwide, is the agency to which the dental school at the University of San Martin Porres has put its international certification. The ADA requirements in the accreditation are extremely stringent, so much so to be considered as a possible candidate for accreditation, the faculty of dentistry at the USMP had to change significantly their curriculum of studies and achieving the dental clinic after an arduous process, recognition by the MOH as the "Single Dentistry Clinic Specializing in Peru " fundamental requirement to start the accreditation to the ADA. The requirements for accreditation itself, are even more stringent that involve a number of items, which constitute a challenge to the dental school of the USMP is willing address the safety of their strengths. This coupled with the early construction of the new headquarters with the latest technology for research and the continuity of the publications in the scientific journal Kiru, will be one of the most cherished goals. Be standard in teaching and research dentistry in the region.
