The 49 studies contained in this volume, which were originally published and distributed as individual State Dentist Manpower Reports, are the first reports to be drawn from survey data gathered through a national data compilation system designed to collect essential information on the dental manpower supply from all licensed dentists at the time of their annual or biennial registration with state licensing boards. This initial nationwide survey of dentists began with the 1965 registration period and covered a period of approximately 3 years. Information is provided on the location, age, and current professional activity of dentists in each state (except Alabama and California), their professional background, and selected practice characteristics, including the area of specialization and utilization of auxiliary personnel.
