Changing Dental Profession—Modern Forms and Challenges in Dental Practice

摘要

In the last two decades, an increasing trend towards new forms of dental practice was observed. The classic model of a dental practice with only one dentist is still the most common form of practice, but requirements and political conditions have largely changed and continue to change [1]. Nowadays, young dentists have several job opportunities, i.e., being a self-employed intrapreneur or being an employee in one of the practice forms, or working in the public health sector or in industry. Career prospects are diverse and much less clear-cut than in the past.
