During the last five years a system dynamics model of the dental health care system of the Netherlands has been developed.The model consists of six submodels, capturing the major demographica1, pathological, psychological, sociological and economical processes of supply and demand of dental care. Two income-categories differentiating between two classes of insurance ("Sickfund” and “Non-Sickfund”), and six age-categories are distinguished. The model comprises ten types of dental treatments. Alternative policies with respect to restoring the lost equilibrium between supply and demand of dental care are tried out, and compared with the base-run. Dependent on the considered time-horizon, and the interests of different parties (dentists, dental students, dental hygienists), different policy-scenario's turn out to be more attractive in redressing the balance.
