OBJECTIVE
This study aims to determine the reasons for disciplinary action, the consequences and any associations with demographic factors for Canadian dentists.
METHODS
Publicly available regulatory body disciplinary action cases from 10 Canadian provinces were coded. Demographic factors were also coded.
RESULTS
There were 344 dentist cases from five provinces between January 2010 and December 2020. The rate of disciplinary action was low (1.38 cases/1,000 practitioners/year). Clinical incompetence was the most common category of disciplinary action, followed by professional misconduct and dishonest business practices. Male dentists were overrepresented in the disciplinary action cases compared to the rest of the workforce.
CONCLUSION
This study is the first, to our knowledge, to describe the outcomes of regulatory body disciplinary action for Canadian dentists.
目的
本研究旨在确定加拿大牙医受到纪律处分的原因、后果以及与人口统计学因素的任何关联。
方法
对来自加拿大 10 个省份的公开可获得的监管机构纪律处分案例进行编码。还对人口统计学因素进行了编码。
结果
2010 年 1 月至 2020 年 12 月期间，来自五个省份的有 344 例牙医案例。纪律处分的比例较低（1.38 例/1000 名从业者/年）。临床能力不足是最常见的纪律处分类别，其次是专业不当行为和不诚实的商业行为。与其他从业人员相比，男牙医在纪律处分案例中所占比例过高。
结论
据我们所知，这项研究首次描述了加拿大牙医受到监管机构纪律处分的结果。
