Since endodontics was first recognized as a specialty of dental practice in 1963, numerous postdoctoral programs have been established or expanded to meet a growing demand for endodontic manpower. There is evidence that a serious threat of overproduction now exists. Projections of active dentist and endodontist populations provide a basis for adjusting endodontic program size.
