Since 1980 various studies have been published in Israel dealing with dental manpower issues, utilizing several methods such as manpower to population ratio. The dental literature pointed out that dentistry in Israel has an over supply of dentists and that manpower to population ratio is one of the highest in the world 1:770. All studies were based on the information provided by the Ministry of Health which showed that Israel has over 9500 dentists. The Israel Central Bureau of Statistics figures showed a much smaller number which was 5700 active dentists. This enormous gap in between two sources of information, following strict examination of the data revealed that the Bureau of Statistics information is reliable and hence, the real manpower to population ratio in Israel in 2008 was 1:1271. Prediction of manpower is extremely important and the base line information is crucial for future evaluations.
自1980年以来，以色列发表了多项关于牙科人力问题的研究，采用了多种方法，如人力与人口比率。牙科文献指出，以色列的牙医供应过剩，人力与人口比率是世界上最高的之一，为1:770。所有研究均基于卫生部提供的信息，该信息显示以色列有超过9500名牙医。以色列中央统计局的数据显示的数字要小得多，即有5700名在职牙医。在对数据进行严格审查后，这两个信息来源之间存在的巨大差距表明，统计局的信息是可靠的，因此，2008年以色列实际的人力与人口比率为1:1271。人力预测极其重要，基础信息对于未来评估至关重要。
