Abstract	AIM: To analyse the changing trends in dental manpower production of India since 1920 and its development to date. METHODS AND MATERIAL: The databases consulted were those provided by the Central Bureau of Health Intelligence, Dental Council of India, and Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: Descriptive statistics. RESULTS: In India, dental education was formally established in 1920 when the first dental college was started. Current data revealed that there are 301 colleges nationwide granting degrees in dentistry, with a total of 25,270 student positions offering annually. Both the distribution of dental colleges and of dentists varies among the regions of the country with the greatest concentration in major urban areas, resulting in limited coverage in rural regions. CONCLUSIONS: The current scenario indicates that there is lack of systematic planning in the allocation and development of dental colleges in India.
