The purpose of this study was to examine gender disparities in dental leadership and academics in the United States. Nine journals that represent the dental specialties and high published impact factors were selected to analyze the percentage of female dentists' first and senior authorship for the years 1986, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2008. Data on appointment status and female deanship were collected from the American Dental Association (ADA) survey, and the trends were studied. The proportion of female presidents in ADA-recognized specialty organizations was also calculated. Overall, the increase in first female authorship was not statistically significant, but the increase of last female authorship was statistically significant in a linear trend over the years. The percentage of tenured female faculty members and female deans in U.S. dental schools increased by factors of 1.7 and 9, respectively, during the study period. However, female involvement in professional organizations was limited. Findings from this study indicate that female participation in authorship and leadership has increased over time. Nevertheless, females are still a minority in dental academics and leadership.
本研究旨在考察美国牙科领域的领导层和学术界中的性别差异。选择了九种代表牙科专业且具有较高发表影响因子的期刊，分析了 1986 年、1990 年、1995 年、2000 年、2005 年和 2008 年女性牙医作为第一作者和资深作者的比例。从美国牙科协会（ADA）的调查中收集了关于任命情况和女性院长的资料，并对趋势进行了研究。还计算了 ADA 认可的专业组织中女性主席的比例。总的来说，女性第一作者的比例增加没有统计学意义，但在过去几年中，最后一位女性作者的比例呈线性趋势显著增加。在研究期间，美国牙科学校的终身制女性教职员工和女性院长的比例分别增加了 1.7 倍和 9 倍。然而，女性在专业组织中的参与仍然有限。本研究的结果表明，女性在作者和领导方面的参与度随着时间的推移而增加。尽管如此，女性在牙科学术界和领导层中仍然占少数。
