Survey of clinic fees and clinic revenue--summary report, 1993-94.

Figure 4 shows the mean unadjusted revenue-per-student by program type. Advanced Education General Dentistry programs had the highest revenue-per-student this year and in two of the three previous years. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery programs generated the second highest mean amount of clinic revenue-per-student, followed by General Practice Residencies, Orthodontic programs, and Prosthodontic programs. Pediatric Dentistry, Endodontics, and Periodontics programs also had similar mean revenues-per-student. The smallest revenues-per-student were generated by D.D.S./D.M.D. and dental hygiene programs. These data should be interpreted with care. A review of the information for each program shows that there are significant variations in these data from school to school. These variations could be caused by different accounting procedures as well as differences in program size and location. Consequently, these data are best viewed in general terms.
