抄録
医業において医師法違反が最も多く散見されるように、歯科医業においては圧倒的多数の歯科医師法違反が認められる。歯科衛生士法は1948年に定められ、この法律のもとに56年間に18万人の歯科衛生士が養成されている。今回歯科関係法規のうち、歯科衛生士法違反に関し、全国の都道府県警察本部から報告された資料により作成された「警察庁犯罪統計書」及び厚生労働省ホームページ「医道審議会医道分科会議事要旨」を資料として検討した。1948年～1971年には歯科衛生士法違反は認められなかった。1972年～1998年の27年間には送致件数は16件9人であった。年間最も多かったのは1972年で、送致件数3件1人であった。歯科衛生士法違反と歯科医師法違反数の相関は認められなかった。歯科衛生士や歯科技工士が業務範囲を逸脱して歯科医師業務を行ったとして歯科医師法違反とされた例があるが、歯科衛生士免許保侍者が歯科衛生士法違反に問われた例は見られなかった。また、歯科診療室の実態調査では歯科医師や診療放射線技師が行うべき業務を歯科衛生士が日常的に行っている事例もあった。歯科衛生士は一層重要性が増し、役割が拡大しつつある。歯科衛生士は法に基づく業務範囲を再認識する必要があると考えられる。
Infractions of the Dental Practitioners Law are by far the most common observed in dental practice, just as infractions of the Medical Practitioners Law are the most common among those occasionally seen in medical practice. The Dental Hygienists Law was established in 1948, and 180,000 dental hygienists have been trained under this law over the past 56 years. Among the statutes related to dentistry, in this study we assessed the "National Police Agency Criminal Statistics", prepared from data reported by the prefectural police headquarters nationwide, and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's home page "Minutes of the Medical Ethics Subcommittee of the Medial Ethics Council" as materials related to infractions of the Dental Hygienists Law. No violations of the Dental Hygienists Law were found from 1948 to 1971. In the 27 years from 1972 to 1998 there were 16 (9 persons) cases in which charges were brought. The peak year was 1972, when there were 3 cases (1 person) in which charges were brought. No correlation was found between the numbers of infractions of the Dental Hygienists Law and the numbers of infractions of the Dental Practitioners Law. There were cases that were considered to be violations of the Dental Practitioners Law, because a dental hygienist or a dental technician had deviated from the scope of their work and performed dentists' work, but no cases were found in which a licensed dental hygienist was accused of having violated the Dental Hygienists Law. A fact-finding investigation of dental clinics also revealed instances in which dental hygienists had been regularly performing work that a dentist or a dental radiology technician should have been performing. The importance of dental hygienists has risen to a new level, and their roles have been expanding. It appears necessary to reaffirm the scope of the work of dental hygienists based on the law.
