Abstract

The time has come for dentists, to shift from a medicine emphasizing knowledge and technology to a holistic medicine that encompasses the humanside of the therapist.
As a preliminary psychophysiological research on practising dentists, we requested practitioners from the Kanto area and its surroundings to fill-in a questionnaire two psychological tests: the CMI and the Y-G.
Present psychosocial stresses of practitioners were identified discussed.
