Figure 21: Comparison between Projected Supply and Requirement Based on
Demand, Need and Australian Benchmark
3.2.4 Comparison with selected high-income countries
Figure 22 illustrates the comparison between dentist supply projection in Malaysia with
other developed and developing countries, thus allowing decision-maker to plan for
HRH in the country. The benchmarking was conducted by comparing the projected
dentist density in Malaysia to dentist density of a few selected high-income countries
and selected the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
countries. Sweden and Australia are among the highest dentist density amongst
the selected OECD countries. The simulation result shows that the density of the
projected requirement based on the needs of dentists in Malaysia is slightly lower
than the practising dentists in Sweden. Similarly, the projected requirement of dentist
density for Malaysia at 55% Need is below the average of selected OECD countries.
