NAVARRO-MORA, Matías  e  CARTES-VELASQUEZ, Ricardo. Expectations of professional specialization in dental students: Literature review. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.2, pp.158-166. ISSN 1019-4355.

Continuing professional development has become a common aim to all professions, and Dentistry is not the exception, being the dental specialties the most important way for this development. The choice of a specialty has strong implications not only for the professional or the educational and scientific communities, but also to the public health of the countries. For this reason, it is important to know which elements are involved in the process of choosing specialty. The aim of this article is to review the factors and evolution of preferences for specialization among dental students, reported in the recent international literature. There are several reasons that influence the decision to specialize and choice of a specialty, among them are: Financial stability and economic retribution, Development and personal interests, Social recognition or "status", Work Experience, Altruism and Student debt load. However, the weight of each of these factors varies between countries and even within these. In Latin America excepting Brazil, research in this area has been limited. This hinders the development of policies for the training of specialized human resources in Dentistry that meet the needs of the population. It is therefore necessary to develop research to better understand the choice of specialty of the current and future dentists in the conditions of each country or region.
