Notes
Revision 2 (2026-11-09, steward fix): Scope qualified: licensed technicians only; technician trainees (牙體技術生) are excluded. Practising 牙體技術師 in all registered medical institutions, which include dental technician offices (牙體技術所) as well as clinics and hospitals (238 of the 1,981 are in clinics+hospitals per the open datasets). A further 798 牙體技術生 (trainee category, exams discontinued from 2014) practise but are excluded. That dental technician offices are counted in this table is inferred from the 238 vs 1,981 gap, not stated in the file.
