@article{oai:mdu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00001146, author = {徳植, 進}, issue = {2}, journal = {松本歯学}, month = {Aug}, note = {application/pdf, In a previous investigation of the historical development of Japanese dental colleges, I have shown how each specialty has developed its own specific therapeutic methodologies, making it difficult to establish a specialty dealing exclusively with diagnosis. But oral diagnosis has been in existence since the Meiji period, and I believe it is necessary to create a single specialty called "Oral Diagnostics." Here I report the investigation of the current condition of oral diagnosis in 29 dental curricula in Japan. The results are as follows. 1. Lectures and preliminary medical examinations in oral diagnosis are given in 11 colleges. 2. Lectures are not given, but preliminary medical examinations are conducted in 14 colleges. 3. Lectures are not given, but preliminary examinations are given by each separate clinic within the institution in 4 colleges. In conclusion, I feel that in order to establish a more standard and functional dental education, it is necessary to create a field such as "Oral Diagnostics," in which the dental student approaches the oral region as a whole as the main object of study.}, pages = {125--133}, title = {歯科教育機関における診断学の現況}, volume = {15}, year = {1989} }
