Abstract

VIDAL, Cyril. Evolution of the representation of the dentist in cinema. Rev Med Cine [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.1, pp.53-60.  Epub Apr 01, 2024. ISSN 1885-5210.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/rmc.31200.

Over the years and with the evolution of cinema, the representations of the dentist have also evolved. From silent to talking pictures, from black and white to colour, from Hollywood to European cinema, we have tried to identify the characteristics of the dentist in the films. From being a secondary and anecdotal character, he has now become the protagonist of choice. From a caricature and a scripted argument, the dentist has gradually become a complex protagonist. The public's perception of the dental profession is influenced by these changes, giving hope for a better relationship between patients and dentists, with the aim of improving oral public health.

Keywords : dentist; films; dentist patient relationship.
