Aichi Dental Association (ADA) has developed a hepatitis project for dentists and held a hepatitis medical care coordinator (hepatitis-coordinator) training course. According to the questionnaire (response rate of 91.2% [145/159] ) for participants, dentists have more opportunities to interact with patients with hepatitis than the attendees from the non-dental field (p = 0.001). Dentists had expanded their knowledge of the role of hepatitis coordinators (p = 0.047) and wished to recommend the hepatitis B vaccination (p < 0.001). The number of dentists became the largest among hepatitis coordinators by occupation in Aichi Prefecture since 94 dentists were certified as hepatitis coordinators. The training courses by ADA provided an opportunity to take a leading position on hepatitis for dentists.
