Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to provide basic data for developing and improving a nationwide curriculum for advanced courses in dental technology departments.
Methods: For the study, the 2021 academic curricula for all six universities with operating departments for advanced study of dental technology were investigated from November 18 to December 10, 2021. If a curriculum was not available for analysis on the university’s website, it was obtained via e-mail or phone and then analyzed.
Results: The curricula offered advanced courses in a range of 7~14 subjects, with an aver-age of 9.7 subjects. The total number of credits ranged 20~33, and the average for all uni-versities was 25.2. Among the total subjects opened, digital-related subjects comprised the largest proportion at 26.2%, followed by other major-related subjects (e.g., dental tech-niques, occlusion, and implants) and other liberal arts subjects.
Conclusion: The study revealed that the curricula for bachelor’s-level dental technology course at universities adequately reflect the industry demand. In the future, university lead-ers must maintain ongoing collaboration and consultation with industry experts with regard to school curricula for analyzing the education demand and industry prospects, including careers.
