Dental imaging centers.

Abstract

Dedicated dental imaging centers have been providing valuable imaging services to the dental community for many years. The centers feature specialized and sophisticated imaging equipment and highly trained personnel and provide photographic and radiographic services for the community. This article discusses selected sophisticated imaging equipment found in dental imaging centers and discusses current and anticipated future services provided by the centers. These future services include the construction of patient-specific interactive three-dimensional models to be used for diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment simulations, communication, and evaluation of treatment outcomes.

Stabilizing the number of New York State dental establishments.

Dental manpower and dental establishments are undergoing dramatic changes in New York State at a time when increases in the resident population of the state are limited. During the past decade there was a decrease of 700 licensed and registered dentists in the state. The average number of employees in dental establishments continues to increase. Between 1980 and 1995 there was an increase of more than 1,100 dental establishments in New York State. But since the mid-1990s there was an increase of only 71 dental facilities in the state. These developments are considered in the various regions of the state.
