  • Identification of common reasons for establishing group practices.

    • Main Results:

    • Facility-sharing partnerships (SCMs) are the most frequent model, allowing individual fee collection.
    • Full partnerships (SCPs) involve shared facilities and patients, with pooled fees and profit distribution.
    • Motivations for group practice include managing large patient loads, seeking leisure, and professional development.
    • Women are significant participants, often part-time, but women-only groups are rare.
    • Orthodontists show a high rate of group practice participation (80%).

    Conclusions:

    • Group practice models in France vary significantly, with SCMs being dominant.
    • The formation of group practices is driven by both practical and personal factors.
    • Understanding these diverse models is crucial for healthcare policy and professional development in dentistry.
