The objective of this study was to create a model for dentist manpower management in the department of dentistry. The research design was a descriptive study. The study subjects consist of 19 dentists at the department of dentistry; all of them had time management according to new guidelines to ensure the appropriate operations that can fix current problems in the context of Roi Et hospital. The research was conducted from January 2018 to December 2020. Descriptive statistics were used for all data analysis. The results demonstrated that scheduling operations by general and specialized dental services which appropriate with the dentist's potential could solve the access of dental care’s problems. It could also be tailored to all types of actual workloads, such as service, administrative, and academic. As a result of the new time allocation, patients had increased access to dental services and dentists’ satisfaction at the high and highest level increased to 84.2%. To sum up, an appropriate manpower management strategy for the department of dentistry at Roi Et hospital with a time allocation guideline had been established by scheduling the work in a systematic manner in accordance with the problem, roles, duties, and missions. Dentists were supervised, monitored, and evaluated their work to match the full potential. As a result, patients had more access to dental services, so the data can be used to plan dental manpower in the next 5 years and also can be used as information in related work as well.
