The purpose of this study was to explore the socio-cultural function of network dental system and suggest the improvement of limitations of the current network dental system format. The Parker E-system, which appeared in the early 20th century in the United States, was examined to identify the early stage of the network dental system. Next, large network systems in other areas were compared as examples to consider the current operational form of network hospitals and clinics. The network dental system shows its strength in securing profits for healthcare systems, but it has ethical issues in terms of publicness of medical establishments. When comparing network dental systems to medical, Korean medical, and pharmacy networks, the dental network was identified as being in the middle of networks of other domains in terms of expertise, universality, and vertical relationships. Brand value is lower than other domains. This study suggests that the network dental system needs to specialize in the role of the Management Service Organization to strengthen their values. Institutional supports should be provided to perform public functions in the community.
