Abstract

BACKGROUND Oral Pathology (OP) and Oral Medicine (OM) are specialties in dentistry whose main objective is the diagnosis and treatment of oral and maxillofacial diseases, and aspects related to the academic training of professionals and fields of practice are distinct and heterogeneous around the world. This study aimed to evaluate professional training and areas of activity in OP and OM in Latin American countries. MATERIAL AND METHODS A questionnaire was sent to 11 countries, with a professional in each country responsible for answering it. The questionnaire had 21 questions related to the process of professional training, areas of practice, the existence of scientific events in each country, and also collected demographic and population information. RESULTS OP and OM are practiced in all the countries studied, but the specialty is not recognized in all of them. Brazil was the first to recognize both as a specialty. Postgraduate programs designed to train specialists are available in various countries. Two countries offer residency programs, 6 countries provide specialization courses, 6 offer master's programs, and 3 have doctoral programs. Brazil boasts the highest number of undergraduate courses (n=412), while Uruguay has the lowest (n=2). Professional societies representing the specialty exist in ten countries. Brazil has the highest number of OP and OM specialists (n=422 and 1,072), while Paraguay has the smallest number (n=1 and 3). CONCLUSIONS Although both specialties are widely practiced around the globe, professional training, the number of dentists trained and the fields of professional practice are very different between the countries studied.
拉丁美洲国家的口腔病理学和口腔医学:现阶段。
背景口腔病理学(OP)和口腔医学(OM)是口腔医学中的专科,其主要目标是诊断和治疗口腔颌面部疾病。本研究旨在评估拉丁美洲国家在口腔颌面外科方面的专业培训和活动领域。材料和方法向 11 个国家发送了调查问卷,每个国家由一名专业人员负责回答。问卷共有 21 个问题,涉及专业培训过程、实践领域、每个国家是否有科学活动,同时还收集了人口和人口信息。巴西是第一个承认这两个专业的国家。各国都有培养专科医生的研究生课程。2 个国家提供住院医师培训课程,6 个国家提供专业课程,6 个国家提供硕士课程,3 个国家提供博士课程。巴西的本科课程最多(412 门),而乌拉圭最少(2 门)。十个国家都有代表该专业的专业协会。巴西拥有最多的口腔操作和口腔手术专家(分别为 422 人和 1,072 人),而巴拉圭拥有最少的专家(分别为 1 人和 3 人)。
