Por qué importa

Este estudio observacional descriptivo, publicado en el Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry, analiza las diferencias de género entre los profesionales dedicados a la Implantología Oral en España. La investigación, basada en una encuesta a miembros de la Sociedad Española de Implantes, revela que, si bien las mujeres predominan hasta los 40 años y tienen un mayor nivel de formación a través de másteres, los hombres son mayoría a partir de los 51 años, con mayor experiencia y volumen de colocación de implantes. Estos hallazgos son relevantes para comprender la estructura actual de la especialidad, las trayectorias profesionales y la distribución por edad y formación, aspectos que pueden influir en el desarrollo futuro de la implantología y en las oportunidades para todos los profesionales del sector.

Abstract original

BACKGROUND: Despite the development of society and the educational progress achieved at the university education level, women continue to face obstacles that hinder their professional development. This study aims to determine whether there are gender differences in a representative sample of professionals dedicated to Oral Implantology in Spain. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional observational study based on the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) guidelines. An electronic survey consisting of two blocks of questions was sent to members of the Spanish Society of Implants. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. RESULTS: A total of 303 participants (20.8%) responded to the questionnaire, of which 219 were men (72.3%) and 84 women (27.7%). Up to the age of 40 years, women predominate, whereas men predominate from the age of 51 years onwards, which is influenced by a greater number of years of experience in implant placement and a higher number of implants placed per year. Despite this, women have a higher level of training in Oral Implantology, as a greater proportion are trained through master's degrees. CONCLUSIONS: Sex differences, dentistry, oral implantology, feminism, gender.
