title: Update on the distribution of oral and maxillofacial surgeons 1995 to 2006.
abstract: A review of the 2006 and past American Dental Association (ADA) studies on the distribution of dentists provides updated information on the evolving number and distribution of oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Despite an overall increase in the number of oral surgeons, differences continue in practitioner-to-population ratios in the various geographic areas.
