what’s going on?What is going on in the market that makes Dental Practice Report a must read in 2006?

Digital technologyIncreased opportunities for improved efficiency,

profitability and clinical excellence through the

intelligent integration of front-office and operatory

computer systems and ancillary technologies (i.e.

Software, digital radiography and imaging, advanced

delivery systems, digital charting, caries detection

systems, CAD/CAM).

Shift to more sophisticated, customer-centered business practicesIncreased consumer awareness in esthetics and

oral/systemic links, are driving demand and forcing

practices to develop a strong customer-service business

model. This also is sparking interest in more business-

related content and continuing education for dentists

and staff as well as more dependence upon consulting

services, marketing services and outside financial

services. Dental Practice Report will continue to focus on

the business of dentistry.

Improved product offeringsImprovements in diagnostic devices, esthetic restorative

material, orthodontic devices, endodontic implements,

digital technology and periodontal pharmaceuticals and

technology are empowering general practitioners to

expand their clinical services. There is also more demand

for continuing education in these areas.

Expanding staff rolesHygienists and assistants are taking on expanded

diagnostic and business roles, which, when properly

implemented, greatly improve efficiency and

profitability. Hygienists in particular are playing greater

roles in diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and

presenting esthetic options.
