The use of a uniform terminology is important to avoid misunderstanding of concepts or procedures in discussion. The usage of English prosthodontic terms in Japan was investigated in the current study. English prosthodontic terms listed in The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms edited by the Japan Prosthodontic Society (GPTJ-5) were compared to those in The Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms ninth edition (GPT-9). A small number of terms labeled as objectionable in GPT-9 were listed in GPTJ-5. This might indicate that it takes a long time to replace terms that are used widely.
使用统一的术语对于避免在讨论中对概念或程序产生误解很重要。本研究调查了日本使用英文修复术语的情况。将日本修复学会编辑的《修复术语词汇》（GPTJ-5）中列出的英文修复术语与《修复术语词汇》第九版（GPT-9）中的术语进行了比较。GPT-9 中标记为不可接受的少数术语也列在 GPTJ-5 中。这可能表明，要替换广泛使用的术语需要很长时间。
