3. According to the contents of clinical practice at university hospitals, the frequency of dental hygiene students’observation practice was high in basic medical service, dental prosthesis, and orthodontics.
4. The frequency of performance practice was high in basic medical service, oral medicine, preventive dentistry, pediatric dentistry, periodontology, and dental prosthesis.
