* The demand for dental services will continue to grow. Due to the success of preventive dentistry in reducing the incidence of oral disease, the growing older population will retain their teeth longer, and will be even more aware of the importance of regular dental care.
Demand for dentists' newer services, such as cosmetic dentistry, also will contribute to this growth.
* The number of first-year students in dental schools has decreased from a high of 6,301 in 1978 to 4,255 in 1996.
* Enrollment trends over the past two decades suggest that the proportion of women in dentistry will continue to increase. Projections indicate that by the year 2000, more than 26,000 women will be active practitioners, almost twice the present number.
