Abstract
The supply of dentists might have reached a level that generated the geographic diffusion and redistribution of dentists in Japan, in contrast with the situation involving physicians. This supports some results from other countries suggesting that saturation of local markets for health professionals may result in geographical redistribution, producing a more equal pattern of provision across the national space.
