title: Stabilizing the number of New York State dental establishments.
abstract: Dental manpower and dental establishments are undergoing dramatic changes in New York State at a time when increases in the resident population of the state are limited. During the past decade there was a decrease of 700 licensed and registered dentists in the state. The average number of employees in dental establishments continues to increase. Between 1980 and 1995 there was an increase of more than 1,100 dental establishments in New York State. But since the mid-1990s there was an increase of only 71 dental facilities in the state. These developments are considered in the various regions of the state.
