It also includes national projections of the number of professionally active dentists, private practitioners, dental school applicants, first-year dental school enrollments and dental school graduates up to the 2030.

Cost is $80 for ADA members, $120 for nonmembers and $240 for commercial firms, plus shipping and handling. There is also a version available for downloading (DWM-2009D) for the same price, excluding shipping charges.
