Summary

The British Dental Association (BDA) Timings Inquiry analyzed dental treatment durations to create an hourly rate model for general dental services. This study informed conclusions on National Health Service (NHS) dentist earnings.

Area of Science:

Dental Public Health
Health Economics
Dental Practice Management

Background:

The General Dental Services (GDS) required updated information on treatment timings.
A need existed to develop a fair and accurate hourly rate model for dental practices.
Previous data on dental treatment durations was insufficient for current economic modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a comprehensive Timings Inquiry within the GDS.
To establish a robust model for calculating an hourly rate in general dental practice.
To assess the average earnings of full-time National Health Service (NHS) dentists.

Main Methods:

A panel of dentists meticulously recorded the absolute time for 21 key dental treatments.
Relative timings for associated treatments were estimated by the panel.
Consensus was reached among the panel on variables essential for constructing the hourly rate model.

Main Results:

Absolute treatment timings were applied to the developed hourly rate model.
The model provided insights into the potential average earnings for full-time NHS dentists.
Data was compiled to support the BDA's evidence submission to the Doctors and Dentists Review Body.

Conclusions:

The Timings Inquiry successfully provided crucial data on dental treatment durations.
The hourly rate model offers a basis for understanding general dental practice economics.
The findings contributed significantly to the BDA's 1999 evidence presented to the Doctors and Dentists Review Body.
