This paper reviews three recent reports of national gender trends in dental practice patterns. Although the three independent cross-sectional studies were conducted at different points in time, used different sampling strategies, and used similar but independent survey instruments, findings were consistent across studies. In summary: Women dentists are less likely to be married and have fewer children. Women are more likely to assume child rearing and household responsibilities. Women are less likely to be practice owners. Women worked slightly fewer hours per week and weeks per year, and were more likely to take a leave of absence for illness or child rearing. However, women dentists demonstrate a far greater professional work commitment than was previously reported in the literature. Women earn significantly less income from the practice of dentistry, even after controlling for age, practice ownership, hours worked per week, and other personal characteristics. The most current "Gender Wage Gap" estimates range from 57.7% for specialists to 75.4% for general practitioners (8). delta.
本文回顾了近期三篇关于牙科执业模式全国性别趋势的报告。尽管这三项独立的横断面研究在不同时间进行，采用了不同的抽样策略，且使用了相似但独立的调查工具，但各研究结果一致。总结如下：女牙医结婚的可能性较小且子女较少。女性更有可能承担育儿和家务责任。女性成为诊所所有者的可能性较小。女性每周工作的小时数和每年工作的周数略少，且更有可能因生病或育儿而请假。然而，女牙医表现出比以往文献报道的更高的职业工作投入度。即使在控制了年龄、诊所所有权、每周工作小时数和其他个人特征之后，女牙医从牙科执业中获得的收入仍显著较低。最新的“性别工资差距”估计范围从专科医生的57.7%到全科医生的75.4%（8）。增量。
