title: Growing pains in paradise: Arizona's boom.
abstract: Arizona's explosive population growth has presented challenges for organized dentistry in the state. Among these are the opening of two new dental schools, the desire of many dentists to relocate to the urban areas of the state, and state regulations that require vigorous investigations of suspected irregular practices. The state association's executive director is banking on dentist's traditional active, positive leadership to manage these challenges.
