“…During this time period, the harmonization of European educational qualifications also occurred. In addition, the basis for the professional profile of dentists emerged in Italy, albeit with great delay and considerable difficulties (Orzack, 1981). According to Speranza (1992), five actors should be considered: the Italian Association of Specialist Dental Practitioners (AMDI), the various Italian associations of general practitioners, the Italian government, the institutions of the European Economic Community (EEC), and the various associations of dentists from European member countries belonging to the European Union Dental Liaison Committee (EU DLC) the Liaison Committee.…”

Abstract:The aim of this article is to reconstruct the process of professionalization of Italian dentists and the profession's current configuration. It is based on three lines of inquiry. The first line adopts a historical perspective through the analysis of legislation that has regulated the dental sector over time. The second line depicts the current configuration of the profession through institutional and sectoral statistics. The third line focuses on the impact of the 2008 economic crisis, using the main findings of a survey conducted among the profession's representatives. The economic crisis has exacerbated the profession's structural weaknesses caused by the difficulties associated with self-regulation and by organizational-managerial inefficiency. Given this situation, one may inquire as to the actual professional nature of dentistry in Italy: It is not pointless to ask whether-and, if so, what type of-professionalism exists in dentistry in Italy today.

“…A similar situation can be seen in sociological studies in Italy. Although there is growing interest in the study of the medical profession and its changes (Speranza, Tousijn, & Vicarelli, 2008;Tousijn, 2000;Vicarelli, 2008Vicarelli, , 2010, there are relatively few studies on dentists or oral health (Orzack, 1981;Speranza, 1992;Tousijn, 2000).…”

“…5 In some cases, countries even had to create new professions or to redefine the content of the existing ones in order to comply with the EU legislation. This was the case in Italy, where the previously unified professions of dentistry and medicine had to be separated more clearly in order to allow practice for foreign-trained dentists (Orzack 1981). Secondly, the idea of harmonizing the contents of the curriculum is partly at odds with another basic principle of the EU, which provides for non-intervention of European authorities in education and more generally in cultural matters, which remain under states' jurisdiction.…”

European Regulation of Professional Education

National governing and regulation of professions is to some extent challenged by contemporary international regulation, and partly replaced by considerable international re-regulation Á firstly by the European Union, and secondly by globalization of the markets for capital, goods, services and labour. Issues regarding professions are being negotiated at the European level by European professional federations and EU public authorities. These new trends raise questions for the sociological analysis of professions regarding standards of professional education, forms of public regulation, strategies of market closure or autonomy. This paper is a summary of the policies for and the formal regulation of professional education in the European Union. Data are based on policy documents, directives and agreements with a particular focus on the cases of architects and psychologists. Psychology demonstrates most elements of a professional project, proactively emphasizing education, research and academic status and new tasks on an international market. Architecture demonstrates a more established occupation defending the market and emphasizing the social status and the ubiquitous and general role of architecture. There has been a shift from 'hard' regulation to more 'soft' regulation, allowing more room for professional actors to organise themselves and define their rules of mobility, as well as more initiatives from below and within national and supranational associations, making the policies more contextually determined compared to the external directions from above in the 1980s.

“…El segundo hecho importante a tener en cuenta es que la profesión dental española hasta finales de los años ochenta era parecida a la italiana, es decir, el dentista era un especialista médico. Al igual que ocurrió en Italia hace unos años (Orzack, 1981), España ha abierto nuevas facultades de odontología que son independientes de las facultades de medicina. Esta situación histórica ha significado que el número de dentistas sea reducido.…”

Salud, estructura familiar y pautas de desigualdad: El caso de las consultas privadas de salud dental

RESUMEN. Las teorías de la estratificación social que sirven para conceptualizar el acceso de las personas a los puestos de trabajo y sus retribuciones salariales han empleado siempre la familia como unidad básica de análisis. En el presente trabajo se demuestra la necesidad de abordar el estudio del consumo de bienes o el acceso a servicios por parte de las personas, teniendo en cuenta las desigualdades entre los miembros de la familia. Los diversos miembros de la familia, en virtud de su distinta posición estructural, disfrutan de oportunidades de consumo desiguales. A partir de ciertas ideas de Weber y del modelo de elección racional de Hechter, se propone una teoría de dependencia y control entre los miembros de la familia que permite evaluar, empíricamente, las pautas de desigualdad. Para tal fin se analiza la información sobre el acceso a consultas dentales privadas contenida en la Encuesta Nacional de Salud española de 1987. La metodología empleada consiste en modelos de regresión logística, abordándose los problemas causados por la existencia de sesgos de selección muestral, y presentándose ciertas sugerencias para una política de salud dental. * Una versión anterior de este artículo obtuvo una mención especial del jurado del Concurso Internacional para Jóvenes Sociólogos organizado por la Asociación Internacional de Sociología con ocasión de su Congreso en Madrid en 1990. Debo al profesor Robert Jenkins gran número de indicaciones técnicas y sugerencias teóricas. Agradezco también los comentarios de
