  • Estimating determinants of dentist productivity

    Open AccessDouglas A Conrad, Rosanna Shuk-Yin Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2010

    As in earlier studies of dental productivity, the key determinant of dentist output is the dentist's own chairside time. The incremental contributions of dentist time, auxiliaries, and operatories to production of dentist visits have not changed substantially over the past three decades. Future studies should focus on ultimate measures of output--oral health--and should develop more precise measures of the practice's actual utilization of auxilia…

  • The Incentive Effects of Malpractice Liability Rules on Dental Practice Behavior

    Douglas A Conrad, Paul Milgrom et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1998References: 6

    OBJECTIVES: The impact of malpractice liability rules on dental practice behavior was estimated using data from a 1992 nationwide survey of US general dentists. The study examined the premise that malpractice liability rules can affect quality of care and related resource allocation decisions by dentists, but that market features, such as relatively complete and "non-experience rated" malpractice insurance, are likely to weaken the incentive effe…
