A questionnaire measuring differences in prosthodontic practice profiles was sent to 2100 Swedish dentists working as general practitioners. The response rate was 76%. Among the responders, 58% were men and 42% women. Fifty per cent were private practitioners, the other 50% being publicly employed. The practice profile variables showed a great variation, and several of the distributions differed with regard to sex and dental care system. The working hours per week the time spent on prosthodontics were on average higher for men than for women. Private practitioners more frequently worked in large communities and cities than did dentists working in the Public Dental Health Service. Practically all (98%) of the private practitioners used more than 75% of their clinical time on treating adults, compared with less than half of the dentists in the Public Dental Health Service. Male dentists reported higher percentage figures with regard to clinical time used for dental care of adults and for prosthodontic services than did female dentists. The figures for fixed prosthodontic service rates varied in the same manner. Fixed prosthodontic services were much more common in private practice than in the Public Dental Health Service, in which more removable dentures were made. Even though private practitioners used more time for prosthodontic services, they referred fewer patients to specialists in prosthodontics and consulted a specialist less often than did the dentists in the Public Dental Health Service.
一份用于衡量口腔修复实践概况差异的问卷被发送给了2100名瑞典全科牙医。回复率为76%。在回复者中，58%为男性，42%为女性。50%是私人执业者，另外50%受雇于公共部门。实践概况变量显示出很大差异，其中一些分布在性别和牙科护理系统方面有所不同。男性每周的工作时间以及花在口腔修复上的时间平均比女性要多。与在公共牙科保健服务机构工作的牙医相比，私人执业者更常在大社区和城市工作。实际上所有（98%）的私人执业者将超过75%的临床时间用于治疗成年人，而在公共牙科保健服务机构中，只有不到一半的牙医这样做。男性牙医报告用于成人牙科护理和口腔修复服务的临床时间百分比高于女性牙医。固定修复服务率的数据也以同样的方式变化。固定修复服务在私人执业中比在公共牙科保健服务机构中更为常见，在公共牙科保健服务机构中制作的可摘义齿更多。尽管私人执业者将更多时间用于口腔修复服务，但他们转诊到口腔修复专科医生的患者比公共牙科保健服务机构的牙医更少，咨询专科医生的频率也更低。
