摘要：The scope of this paper is to evaluate the opinion of future dentists on equity within healthcare systems from a social and medical perspective. Material and methods: We conducted an observational study based on a survey among year five students from the “Carol Davila” Faculty of Dental Medicine Bucharest using an online questionnaire composed of graded answers to 14 statements on the theme of equity within healthcare systems before taking this course. Results: The questionnaire was sent to 300 students, of whom 151 (50.3%) responded; 79.47% of these were female and 20.53% were male; 9.3% had a rural background and 90.7% had an urban background. The majority of respondents expressed strong agreement that equity in public healthcare and acknowledging disadvantaged populations was important. The majority of students also strongly agreed that inequity came about from a lack of accessibility to medical care, lack of financial resources, and the absence of a second medical opinion. There were no statistically significant differences specific to the gender and background environment of the respondents. Conclusions: The notion of equity is known to future dentists. However, contextual clarifications of the concept itself and its adequate quantification are necessary.
