 note = {In the 47 years between 1955 and 2002, the number of dentists in Japan grew by 2.98 times, and the number per 100,000 people grew by 2.09 times. By the classification of business, the composition rate of employees in dental clinics and hospital dental schools has been on the increase. Since 1984 there has been no relationship between the increase in the number of dentists and the intake capacities of dental schools, so some other factor has been working to increase the proportion of dentists. In 2002, the number of dental clinics in Japan was 2.0 times the number in 1975 in real numbers, and also 1.87 times larger per 100,000 people. In the same year the number of dental clinics ranged from 83.8 per 100,000 people in the Tokyo metropolitan area to 33.1 in Fukui Prefecture; this distribution is remarkably unequal, considering the fact that the mean number of dental clinics over the whole country was 51.1 per 100,000 people. Private clinics accounted for 87.5% of all facilities. Dental expenses in 2002 were 22.8 times those in 1965. However, dental expenses as a proportion of people's medical expenses had decreased, from 10.7% in 1980 to 8.4% in 2002. Expenditures on dental services peaked in the 45- to 64- age group, although there was also a peak in the group aged 65 years and over, as there was for general medical expenses. On the other hand, there was a peak in per person dental expenses for age 65 and older, the same as in general medical expenses. Analysis of the relationship between dental expenses and the number of dentists engaged in medical treatment suggested a possibility that the increase in the number of dentists as a supply factor was related to the increase in dental expenses., application/pdf},
