title: [Manpower shortage in oral and maxillofacial surgery--a serious problem in the Netherlands].
abstract: In the Netherlands there is currently a shortage of oral and maxillofacial surgeons. This shortage will increase between 2001 and 2010. It is analyzed that early retirement and reduction of working hours are the major factors which contribute to the shortage which will cause serious problems till 2010. Solutions will focus on increasing training capacity, reduction of training time and on various forms of substitution.
