The economics of dentistry continue to improve into the second half of the 1980's.

A review of federal agency and American Dental Association reports reveals a consistent favorable picture of dental economics into the second half of the 1980's. It's unanimous - the economics of dentistry continue to improve through the 1980s. That's the result of reports from the Internal Revenue Service, the Bureau of the Census, the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), the Department of Labor and the American Dental Association. And these reports of improving economic developments forms of dental practice. But most important, projections through the year 2000 from the Health Care Financing Administration continue this favorable chorus.

Economic impact of dental service utilization by older adults.

A total of 747 general dental practitioners--in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, and Minnesota--responded to a questionnaire in 1988 by completing a detailed productivity report of patient services performed during a specified period. The results, based on 11,909 patient visits and 22,712 dental procedures, indicated that stereotypes of older adults as underutilizers of dental care are incorrect. This finding and others, detailed within this article, indicate that older adults make up a substantial portion of regular patients and that their utilization of dental services should increase throughout 1990.
