| Research Abstract |
The number of healthcare workers has proliferated in the 20th century, and our bodies have been increasingly looked after by various health workers belonging to many specialties, not only doctors. This study explores the influence of the inter-professional relationships between the health-care providers on the professionalization, using the case study of a dental hygienists' professional project in postwar Japan. The case study demonstrates that not only the hierarchical order between dentists and allied professionals but the inter-professional conflicts among health-care providers have been defining the professional project of dental hygienists.
