摘要

背景:自20世纪初以来，尼日利亚的老年人口急剧增长，这表明需要增加老年护理。目的:了解尼日利亚老年牙科教育的现状和需求。材料和方法:在提供牙科外科学士学位课程的大学图书馆和相关教育机构和机构(如尼日利亚大学委员会和尼日利亚医学和牙科理事会)的网站上搜索了关于尼日利亚牙科教育的报告，重点是老年牙科教育。结果:尼日利亚开设口腔外科学士学位的大学有9所;其中8所为联邦政府所有，1所为州政府所有。九所牙科学院中，四所成立于四十多年前，每年培养约160名牙科毕业生。其他五个牙科学院成立于大约15年前，每年培养约100名牙科毕业生。在研究生阶段，有10个认可的牙科专业，大约12个认可的卫生机构每年提供约80个专业培训名额。专科培训由尼日利亚国家研究生医学院和西非外科医生学院管理，这些学院每年向大约15名专科医生颁发奖学金。只有两所大学提供研究生学术硕士课程，包括牙科公共卫生硕士和牙科科学硕士。只有一所牙科学校有老年牙科的本科课程。在研究生阶段，老年牙科并没有发展成为一个独立的专业。本科牙科教育由尼日利亚医学和牙科理事会和全国大学委员会监督。结论:建议将老年牙医学纳入口腔专业本科课程，并在专科研究生课程中合理设置老年牙医学课程。应设立老年牙科研究生文凭和学位课程，以满足尼日利亚大量老年人口的需求。

The Need for Geriatric Dental Education in Nigeria

Background: The elderly population of Nigeria has grown dramatically since the beginning of the twentieth century indicating the need for an increased geriatric care.Objective: To evaluate the status and need for geriatric dental education in Nigeria.Materials and Methods: A search of reports in libraries of Universities that offer Bachelor of Dental Surgery programme and websites of relevant educational agencies and institutions such as the Nigerian University Commission and the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria on dental education in Nigeria focusing on geriatric dental education was undertaken.Results: There are nine universities that offer Bachelor of Dental Surgery in Nigeria; eight are owned by the federal government and one owned by the state government. Of the nine Faculties of Dentistry, four were established over 40 years ago producing about 160 dental graduates every year. The other five Faculties of Dentistry were established about 15 years ago producing about 100 dental graduates every year. At postgraduate level, there are ten recognized specialties in Dentistry and approximately 12 accredited health institutions offer about 80 places for specialist training every year. The specialist training is regulated by both the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria and West African College of Surgeons and a Fellowship is awarded by these colleges to about 15 specialists every year. There are only two universities that offer postgraduate academic Masters programmes comprising Masters in dental public health and Master in dental sciences. Only one dental school has an undergraduate curriculum that has geriatric dentistry. At postgraduate level, geriatric dentistry was not developed as a separate and independent specialty. Undergraduate dental education is monitored by both the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria and the National University Commission.Conclusion: It is recommended that geriatric dentistry should be included in the curriculum of undergraduate dental students and should be well structured in postgraduate specialists' curriculum. Postgraduate diploma and degree programmes in geriatric dentistry should be established to address the needs of the vast elderly population in Nigeria.
