This report provides dentist labour force projections from 2005 to the year 2020. In 2007 the establishment of three new regionally located dental schools was announced, which will result in a substantial increase in the number of dentist graduates trained in Australia. These latest projections take into account the three new schools and other recent changes in the supply of dental visits and services.
