Summary
Despite past oversupply, Israel faces a future dental undersupply. The study advises strengthening existing dental schools rather than establishing a new one to ensure quality dental manpower.
Area of Science:
- Dental Public Health
- Health Workforce Planning
- Dental Education
Context:
- Global trend shifting from dental oversupply to undersupply.
- Significant changes in Israel's dental profession since the late 1980s.
- Concerns regarding the future of academic dental institutions in Israel.
Purpose:
- To analyze current dental manpower trends in Israel.
- To evaluate the necessity of establishing a third dental school.
- To provide recommendations for maintaining a high-quality dental workforce.
Summary:
- Factors like increased female dentists, aging practitioners, and population growth are influencing dental demand.
- A projected balanced dental manpower in Israel by 2011 suggests no immediate need for a new dental school.
- Strengthening existing dental schools is crucial for continuous specialist training and future workforce development.
Impact:
- Avoids potential national dentist shortage seen in other countries.
- Ensures a high-quality professional and academic dental workforce in Israel.
- Maintains a pathway for future dental manpower enlargement and specialist qualification.

01:08The Availability Heuristic
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):
01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
