Abstract
This paper gives an overview of the development of health insurance and some aspects of the oral health care in the
Republic of Macedonia since it became independent in 1991. First, it describes the provision of oral health care and treatments
funded by the public health care system. The dental educational system and available epidemiological data are
then described. Generally, few data are available about the dental workforce in recent years, especially regarding dental
epidemiology. There are various specialisations in dentistry recognised in Macedonia, as well as three subspecialisations:
implantology, maxillofacial and reconstructive prosthodontics, and prosthodontics for children. One aspect of particular
interest is that there are many dental faculties in Macedonia and many dentists, relative to the population and the country’s
requirements.
