T he h ealth care sector, as one of th e lead in g in flation setters, co n tin u es to be a focal p o in t of C ongressional deb ate, p r e s id e n tia l p la tfo rm s, a n d reg ulatory revision. D entistry, as a p ro m in ent m em ber of the h ealth p ro fessions, h as generally prevailed as th e ex cep tio n, w ith in flatio n rates w ell below th e average of all h ealth serv ices. B ut d en tistry h as sh ared w ith all health professions the b u r den s of regulatory reform aim ed at red u cin g th e rising costs of h ealth care. T he 1971 Econom ic Stabilizatio n Act, w ith its four phases of fee controls an d guid elin es, is a vivid exam ple of com prehensive reform. As d en tistry considers its future, it is im p o rtant to review th e evidence for th e past tw o dozen years. T his period is p articu larly revealing because it in clu d es a variety of p u b lic p o lic ie s a n d e v e n ts, s u c h as tw o w ars, a m ajor recession, the en d of th e draft, and th e first p rice control program du ring peacetim e. T h is stu d y presents discussio n s of d en tistry s record betw een 1952 and 1976 an d p articu larly focuses on the p erio d im m ediately before, d u rin g, an d after th e Econom ic S tabilization Act. A detailed exam ination of p ractice costs in th e form of a revised p rice ind ex is p resen ted as an in tegral p art of th e analysis. T his Price Index of Cost of C onducting a D ental P ra c tic e rep rese n ts th e c o n tin u a tio n of th e cost index first p u b lish ed by th e A m erican D ental A ssociation in th e 1975 Survey o f D e n ta l P ra c tic e.

To m easure the d e n tis t s m onetary rew ard from a y ear s p ractice, th e Survey of D ental Practice perm its consideration of both incorp o rate d a n d u n in c o rp o ra te d p ra c tices; th e survey uses th e m ean of all d e n tists n et incom es an d salaries of corporation ow ners.
