Abstract
This study obtained licenses for dental hygienists and dental technicians and analyzed the data by sampling convenience as those currently working in hospitals. It was selected as the final data using 75 dental hygienist questionnaires and 90 dental technician questionnaires. The analysis found that both groups had high ethical values and that they were willing to serve if given volunteer opportunities, indicating a high sense of professional and professional mission. In addition, more than a majority of both groups surveyed said ethical issues would emerge in clinical activities, and that job ethics education was desperately needed. Measures should be sought to foster professional expertise by developing sustainable professional education and programs with established ethical foundations.
