Abstract
The educatVGn of the doctor in special branches of medical work is directed, aside from the national pathology, by the level of civilization, socio-economic factors, demographic differences and the social political order prevailing in the country. In their comparative survey of current specialization in stomatologic disciplines in some European and non-European countries the authors accord special attention to two dominant branches of stomatology (orthodontics and oral surgery) and discuss their priority and importance. In consideration of the specific organizational system of socialized medical care in Yugoslavia the authors supplement the above specializations with the need for special training in »general stomatology«. The significance of the nation's economic resources is discussed in reference to the demand for specialist cadres. Alternative proposals for the essential points in an optimal program of specialization such as regulations on tha planning of specialists, their examination, financing of specialization etc., are presented in detail. In conclusion the authors call attention to the cardinal elements which — according to their analysis — should be considered in the introduction of specialistic disciplines, these are: — the national pathology — social factors — the educational and economic resources of the country.
