This overview of selected characteristics of group and solo practices provides baseline information on the dimensions and structures of two general practice types in the United States. It appears that although a dentist spends no more hours or sees no more patients on the average in a group practice, the structure in terms of use of auxiliaries, appointment flexibility, and structured programs provides the dentist in a group practice more opportunity to participate in other professional activities and generate a higher income. Further analysis on the interrelation of these variables will provide a more conclusive comparison of group and solo practices. Also, more conclusive research on variations among different types of group arrangements is needed to appreciate differences in partnerships, groups, and incorporations.
对团体执业和个体执业选定特征的概述提供了美国两种一般执业类型在规模和结构方面的基线信息。虽然似乎在团体执业中，牙医平均工作时间不会更长，看诊的患者数量也不会更多，但在辅助人员使用、预约灵活性和结构化项目方面的结构，使团体执业中的牙医有更多机会参与其他专业活动并获得更高收入。对这些变量之间相互关系的进一步分析将对团体执业和个体执业进行更具结论性的比较。此外，还需要对不同类型团体安排之间的差异进行更具结论性的研究，以了解合伙制、团体制和公司制之间的差异。
