Statement of problem

As a measure of the leadership diversity in prosthodontics, the number and percentage of women and nonwhite Presidents of prosthodontics organizations is unknown.

Purpose

The purpose of this observational study was to calculate and compare the number and percentage of women and nonwhite Presidents of 10 selected prosthodontic organizations over the past 20 years and to determine whether the number of women and nonwhite Presidents has changed over the time frame of 2000-2019 in comparison to male and white Presidents.

Material and methods

The number of women and nonwhite Presidents of the Academy of Prosthodontics (AP), American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics (AAFP), American Academy of Maxillofacial Prosthetics (AAMP), American College of Prosthodontists (ACP), American Prosthodontic Society (APS), European Prosthodontic Association (EPA), International Association of Dental Research - Prosthodontics group (IADR-P), International College of Prosthodontists (ICP), Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics (GNYAP), and Pacific Coast Society for Prosthodontics (PCSP) was recorded. The chi-square test was used to determine differences in the percentage of women and nonwhite Presidents over time and between organizations.

Results

The range of women Presidents in the selected years was 20% (EPA) to 0% (APS) with a mean of 10%. No statistically significant differences over time and between organizations were observed. The range of nonwhite Presidents in the selected years was 25% (ICP) to 0% (AAFP, AAMP, ACP, and GNYAP) with a mean of 7.5%. No statistically significant difference over time was observed while a statistically significant difference between organizations was observed (P=.015). Multiple comparisons revealed the ICP had significantly more nonwhite Presidents in the selected years.

Conclusions

The relatively low numbers of women and nonwhite Presidents in the organizations studied is compelling evidence that there are an insufficient number of women and nonwhite role models in prosthodontics and that important voices representing the diversity of members of the prosthodontic community remain unheard.

修复学领域的领导者多样性：过去20年中担任特定修复学组织主席的女性和非白人个体数量

问题陈述

作为衡量修复术领导者多样性的一种措施，修复组织中女性和非白人总统的人数和百分比尚不明确。

目的

这项观察性研究的目的是计算和比较过去20年中10个选定的义齿修复组织的女性和非白人总统的数量和百分比，并确定在2000-2013年的时间范围内女性和非白人总统的数量是否发生了变化。与男性和白人总统相比，2019年。

材料与方法

美国假牙学院（AP），美国固定假牙学院（AAFP），美国颌面假牙学院（AAMP），美国假牙​​学院（ACP），美国假牙​​学会（APS）的女性和非白人校长人数记录了牙齿修复协会（EPA），国际牙科研究协会-牙齿修复组织（IADR-P），国际牙齿修复学院（ICP），大纽约牙齿修复学院（GNYAP）和太平洋海岸牙齿修复学会（PCSP）。卡方检验用于确定女性和非白人总统在一段时间内以及各组织之间的百分比差异。

结果

在所选年份中，女总统的范围为20％（EPA）至0％（APS），平均为10％。随时间推移以及组织之间未观察到统计学上的显着差异。在所选年份中，非白人总统的范围为25％（ICP）至0％（AAFP，AAMP，ACP和GNYAP），平均为7.5％。随着时间的推移，没有观察到统计学上的显着差异，而组织之间的观察到了统计学上的显着差异（P = .015）。多次比较显示，在所选择的年份中，ICP的非白人总统明显多于白人。

结论

在所研究的组织中，女性和非白人总统的数量相对较少，这是有力的证据表明，在修复牙齿方面，女性和非白人榜样的数量不足，并且代表修复牙齿社区成员多样性的重要声音仍然未被听到。临床意义
