Abstract : 「はじめに」 日本薬理学会教育委員会は本年3月の年会において, 医学, 歯学, 薬学, 農獣医学の各学部における「薬理学教育の現状と将来」についてポスターによるシンポジウムを行った(第67回日本薬理学会年会, 京都, 1994.3月). 教育の問題は教育の現場である大学だけで終わるべきものでなく, 時代のニーズに応えてフィードバックされるべきは言うまでもないが, 大学教育の大綱化が公表されてここ数年来, 国公私立の歯科大学でも特色造りに余念がない. カリキュラムの見直しと改定が, 自己点検・自己評価とリンクして大きな作業となってきた. また機をいつにして, 全国の大学歯学部および歯科大学の教育課程の歯科医学教授要綱の改正作業が精力的になされ, 最終調整の段階を経て公表された. 歯科系薬理学教授要綱も例外ではない. 幸いにも, 上記ポスターシンポジウムに私立歯科大二校の一つとして発表する機会を得た.

Abstract : Over the past 30 years or so the subject of pharmacology has developed explosively with the result that there now many groups of potent drugs used for the treatment of disease. This has had two important consequences for dentistry : (1) a number of the newer drugs have found important roles in dental treatment, and (2) many patients who attend for dental treatment are taking drugs for the treatment of medical conditions and it is therefore important for the dentist to be aware of this fact and to be fully conversant with the pharmacology and rationale behind the use of these drugs. Furthermore, it is obviously important for the dentist to be aware of the unwanted effects that mey be produced by the drugs prescribed, some directly concerned with the mouth. Of equal importance is the need to know about possible interaction (including chemically drug-drug interaction) hat might occur (and must therefore be avoided) in the event the that dental practitioner prescribes one or more drugs for dental treatment that have the potential to interact with those already being taken by the patient for medical reasons. Thus the need for the present-day dental student to have a sound working knowledge of pharmacology and therapeutics is a pressing one. Dental students are educated at Kanagawa Dental College not only, in appropriate detail, those drugs used by the dentist but also those the dentist is likely to encounter in patients who are receiving medication from their medical practitioners ; the teaching staffs encourage the students to have a thorough understanding of the principles of pharmacology so that they can anticipate drug interactions, allergies, incompatibilities, side effects, and other dangers in relation to pharmacokinetics. At present in Japan, we do not have guide-line of pharmacology laboratory classes in relation to dentistly, which is emerging as a specialist subject within dental curriculum. Recently, computer system in introduced to enhance teaching of pharmacology laboratory classes in some medical and dental schools ; however, there are problems associated with using computer simulations to replace actual experiments in pharmacology practical classes. It is known that computer simulations usually do not show details of the experimental set-up, and that simulations generally rely on mathematical models of experiments rather than real experimental date. We, at Kanagawa Dental College, still use older style experimental set-up closely linked to pharmacology lectures at class room, and real experimental data are exploited for interactive tutorial learning. Advantage and disadvantage of our educational system in dentistry have been discussed.
