    Dental practice conditions in Minnesota have declined since 1980, according to the Minnesota Dental Practice Analysis System (DPAS). This system monitors key practice indicators to inform dental workforce planning.

    Area of Science:

    • Health Services Research
    • Dental Public Health
    • Health Workforce Planning

    Background:

    • The Minnesota Dental Practice Analysis System (DPAS) was established to address the need for current data on dental practice.
    • Dental workforce planning requires reliable information on practice productivity, procedures, and economics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish a system for semiannual data collection on dental practice conditions in Minnesota.
    • To monitor trends in key indicators relevant to dental workforce planning.

    Main Methods:

    • A representative sample of Minnesota dentists participated in the study.
    • Data were collected semiannually over a three-year period.
    • Key areas monitored included practice productivity, auxiliary utilization, procedures, payment mechanisms, and fees.
