Dental school of graduation in relation to dentist location. 1979

D W Johnson, and J N Ake, and F M Holz

This is a statistical study of the 1976 location, by region and state, of the active civilian dentists of the United States in relation to the dental schools from which they graduated. The focus of the study is a master matrix table which shows state-by-state distribution of the graduates of each dental school and, conversely, where each state obtained its dentists, by individual dental school of graduation. Comparisons are made with similar data from several studies since the early 1950s, certain relationships and trends are identified, and a few projections are made to 1990. The study provides detailed information useful to organizations and individuals studying dental manpower and who are planning dental educational facilities and programs. A most important aid in such planning is information not only on the location but also on the sources of present dentist manpower.
