In the summer of 1999 the BDA conducted a Timings Inquiry in order to provide information on treatment timings within the General Dental Services (GDS) and to develop a model of an hourly rate for general practice. A panel of dentists measured the absolute time taken to carry out 21 key treatments. The relative times of related treatments were then estimated. The panel also came to consensus about the variables to construct the hourly rate model. The absolute timings exercise was applied to the hourly rate model in order to draw some conclusions about the average earnings of a full-time dentist committed to the NHS. This information formed a central part of the BDA's 1999 evidence to the Doctors and Dentists Review Body.
1999年夏天，英国牙科协会（BDA）进行了一项治疗时间调查，目的是提供有关国民医疗服务体系普通牙科服务（GDS）中治疗时间的信息，并建立一个全科诊疗时薪模型。一个由牙医组成的小组测量了实施21项关键治疗所需的绝对时间。然后估算了相关治疗的相对时间。该小组还就构建时薪模型的变量达成了共识。将绝对时间测量结果应用于时薪模型，以便就致力于国民医疗服务体系（NHS）的全职牙医的平均收入得出一些结论。这些信息构成了BDA于1999年提交给医生和牙医评审机构的证据的核心部分。
