Abstract

The number of pediatric dental clinics has been increasing due to the development of dentistry and changes in public awareness of professional dental care for children. The purpose of this study was to investigate the present status of pediatric dental clinics in Korea in several respects, including regional distribution. There were 343 pediatric dental clinics (1.91%) among 17,917 dental clinics in Korea. 248 out of 343 private practitioners were board certified pediatric dentists. Of 248 board certified pediatric dentists, 25 displayed the specialty in their clinics' name. Gyeonggi occupied largest share of the total pediatric dental clinics in Korea, followed by Seoul and Busan. Gangnam-gu occupied largest share of the total pediatric dental clinics in Seoul. Out of all pediatric dental clinics in Korea, 78.7% was run by only one dentist. 90.9% of pediatric dental clinics didn't do night clinic on weekdays and 26.5% was open until after 15:00 on Saturday.

1956년 한국에 처음 소아치과학교실이 창설되었고, 1992년 한국 최초의 소아전문 치과의원이 등장하였다. 치의학의 발전과 소아치과에 대한 대중의 인식 변화로 인해 소아전문 치과의원은 점점 더 증가하고 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 지역 분포를 포함한 여러 측면에서 한국의 소아전문 치과의원의 현황을 조사하는 것이다. 한국에 17,917개의 치과의원 중 소아전문 치과의원은 343개이고, 1.91%를 차지하였다. 343명의 소아전문 치과의원 개원의 중 248명이 소아치과 전문의였다. 소아치과 전문의 248명 중 25명이 전문의를 표방하여 개원하고 있었다. 16개의 시도 중 경기도에 소아전문 치과의원이 가장 많았고, 33.5%를 차지하였다. 서울과 부산이 그 뒤를 이었다. 서울의 25개 구 중에서는 강남구에 소아전문 치과의원이 가장 많았고, 유소년 10만명당 소아전문 치과의원 수도 강남구에서 제일 높았다. 소아전문 치과의원의 90.9%는 평일 야간진료를 하지 않았고, 26.5%는 토요일에 15시 이후에 문을 닫았다.
