    Summary

    The 1974 Manpower Survey of Oral Surgery revealed practice type significantly impacts oral surgery characteristics. Group practices, compared to solo practices, generally yield higher incomes for older surgeons and involve more procedures.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Surgery
    • Health Services Research
    • Surgical Practice Management

    Background:

    • The structure of dental practices, specifically oral surgery, can influence operational characteristics and outcomes.
    • Understanding practice dynamics is crucial for workforce planning and professional development in oral surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the impact of practice type (solo vs. group) on the characteristics of oral surgery practices.
    • To identify differences in office setup, income, staffing, location, and surgical volume between solo and group oral surgery practices.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of data from the 1974 Manpower Survey of Oral Surgery.
    • Comparison of practice characteristics based on solo versus group practice models.

    Main Results:

    • Solo practitioners were more likely to have a single office; group practices were more common in metropolitan areas.
    • Oral surgeons over 35 in group practices generally reported higher incomes than solo practitioners.
    • Group practices had more staff but fewer staff per surgeon, performed more procedures, and involved more travel time for surgeons.

    Conclusions:

    • Practice type is a significant determinant of oral surgery practice characteristics, including financial, operational, and procedural aspects.
    • Younger solo practitioners (under 40) were more inclined to expand their practice by adding associates within five years compared to older solo practitioners or those in group practices.
