The purpose of this study was to analyze data collected by the American Dental Association and the American Dental Education Association over the past two decades relating to changes in the number of women active in dental education and dental practice. The concept of a pipeline of women in dentistry was explored by analyzing predoctoral, postdoctoral, dental practice, and dental education domains for the inclusion of women. Statistical analyses show that there has been a consistent and progressive increase in the number of women in all stages of the pipeline. Over the past two decades, the number of female students attending and graduating from dental school has steadily increased. In 1984-85, 23.7 percent of all predoctoral students were women; in 2009-10, 45.1 percent were women. Similarly, in 1999, the graduating class was 35.3 percent women; in 2009, it was 46.1 percent women. In the postdoctoral domain, in 1996, 29.9 percent of all residents were women; in 2010, this had increased to 39.0 percent. In dental practice, the number of actively licensed women dentists in 1999 was 15.3 percent of the workforce; in 2010, this percentage had grown to 24.0 percent. In dental education, the number of women clinical faculty members has gradually increased from 669 in 1997-98 to 902 in 2007-08. Until 2000, there had been only two women deans and very few associate/assistant deans, with only sixteen in 1990. In 2000, major changes began with three women deans and seventy-two women associate/assistant deans. In 2009-10, there were 111 associate/assistant women deans and twelve women deans. These data show a progressive increase in the presence of women in all domains of dentistry, especially in leadership positions in dental education.

A universidade é um espaço privilegiado para formação de pessoas e neste processo são evidenciadas questões sociais, humanas e éticas. Na Odontologia estas se estabelecem individualmente entre profissionais e pacientes e, coletivamente, entre a prática profissional e a sociedade. Este estudo do tipo transversal avaliou a experiência de estudantes de Odontologia de uma universidade pública com os dilemas éticos vividos durante sua formação acadêmica. Para tanto foram entrevistados 64 alunos do 4º e 5º ano do curso. Observou-se uma ligeira predominância de alunos do sexo masculino (50,7%), com idade entre 19 e 22 anos. Entre os pesquisados, a maioria afirmou ter tido contato com a teoria da ética profissional durante a graduação. Um quarto dos alunos entrevistados confirmou ter passado por alguma situação eticamente conflitante; todos consideraram importante a discussão de conteúdos que reflitam a bioética no currículo; e grande parte dos alunos que afirmaram ter vivenciado algum conflito ético eram do sexo masculino e cursavam o 5º ano. Foi verificado que os dilemas éticos são percebidos pelos alunos e vivenciados ainda durante sua formação acadêmica.

“…On a positive note for diversity, the percentage of Asian American predoctoral dental students has increased significantly from 8.6 percent in 1985–86 to 22.2 percent in 2010–11. Asian American students now have the second highest percentage of applicants to and enrolled students in dental schools by race/ethnicity 16 . With the surge of students from this minority group, attention thus turned to efforts to increase enrollments from those minority groups that were still underrepresented: African Americans, Latino/as, and American Indians—thus designated “underrepresented minority” (URM) students.…”

As the health care professionals of tomorrow, the students of today are the future of our profession and will shape both dentistry and dental education. To provide historical perspective on today's students, this article summarizes trends in the demographics of allied, predoctoral, and advanced dental students in the United States over the past seventy-ive years and reviews efforts made to promote the racial/ethnic diversity of these groups of students. These efforts include legislative initiatives and public and privately funded programs. An outlook for the future considers ways in which new technologies and social networks as well as coordinated interprofessional efforts might further promote the goal of educating students who relect the diversity of the United States and position the oral health workforce to meet the country's needs.
