From the study to decide data needed for setting a long term plan of supply of dentist, following conclusion is drawn.
1. From the current status of supply and demand of dentist, it was anticipated that deficiency of supply of dentist would be 710 in 1976 and 1,590 in 1986.
Under the presupposition that the medical insurance system had taken effect by 1986, the deficiency of supply of dentist, however, should be expected to be 3,090 by the year.
2. In the year 1967 number of licensed dentist, was 1,843. Among them 85 per cent was dental college graduate and 15 per cent was those who passed qualification examination without college professional education.
3. Private practitioner occupied 68 per cent of all dentist, while 17 per cent was in military service.
4. Distribution of dentist through the classification by urban and rural area revealed that 84 per cent proved to be in urban area.
5. Migration rate of dentist between urban and rural area was more than 24per hundred, and most of the migration was from the rural area to urban area.
6. 70 per cent of licensed dentist without work was under age of 39.
7. Estimated number of dentist in 1967 is 1,450 that of 1976 is 2,290 and by 1986 it is expected to reach 3,010.
8. As most dentist is omnipresent in urban area, the possibility that demand of dentist in rural area is fullfiled by unqualified dentist seems to be great. Giving consideration to the situation, demand of dentist in 1976 would be calculated at 3,000 including 1,500 dentists of rural area, and that of the year 1986 to be 4,600. On the other hand when the medical insurance system carried into effect by 1986 as government plans and discrepancy of medical services between area to area should be balanced, the demand of dentist would be estimated to be 6,100 in 1986.
