This position paper outlines the areas of competence and learning outcomes of "The Graduating European Dentist" that specifically relates to Dentistry in Society. In addition to treating individual patients, a Dentist must be able to focus on promoting health, monitoring interventions and implementing effective strategies of care at community and population levels. This necessarily involves understanding population demography and health trends, engaging with health policy and promoting health. A Dentist must also understand population demography and health trends, in the context of the healthcare system within which they work.
本立场文件概述了“欧洲牙科毕业生”在社会牙科学方面的能力领域和学习成果。除了治疗个体患者外，牙医还必须能够专注于促进健康、监测干预措施以及在社区和人群层面实施有效的护理策略。这必然涉及了解人口统计学和健康趋势、参与卫生政策制定以及促进健康。牙医还必须在其工作的医疗保健系统背景下理解人口统计学和健康趋势。
