This report is based on the material submitted for the symposium on “Medical manpower regulation and prediction” organized by the National Health Research Institute in November 2000. The dental manpower team investigated the manpower situation in Taiwan following World War Ⅱ. It was found that
factors such as the natural growth of population, increase of aged people, and improvements in social, economic, educational and medical indicators will lead to an increase in the demand for dental services over the next 10 to 20 years. The corresponding increase in dental service provided should be based on the improvement in service quality and efficiency rather than increases in dental school enrollments. Official recognition of specialists in dental community and the training and use of dental auxiliaries are essential elements in any planned improvements. The increase in the number of aged people and the care of mentally or physically handicapped patients requires more sophisticated and expensive management procedures. Future dental manpower planning must consider the training and management of such treatment. (Full text in Chinese)
