CE Courses: Online or In-person?
We looked at the trends in CE and found dentists’ preferences were split between in-person and online courses, but that topic of course was the most important in decision-making.
The Importance of Dental Labs
Most dentists do not plan to add an in-house lab to their practice, but we explored the benefits it can have, such as having more control over quality, an additional revenue source, and shorter treatment time.

Dentistry is Worth the Price
It was heartwarming to see that despite the costs and challenges that come with running a dental practice, most dentists would still recommend it as a career.
As seen in the print issue of Oral Health December 2023
*In October and November 2022 Bramm Research, a third-party independent research house, con-ducted an online survey of active, practicing non-hospital affiliated dentists and dental specialists on behalf of Oral Health. Survey invitations went out to a contact list of approximately 9,000 readers and there were 251 completions, for a response rate of 2.8. With a total sample of 251, the margin of error is plus or minus 6.0 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. If, for example, 50% of the sample indicated that agreed with a statement, then we can be reasonably sure (19 times out of 20) of an accuracy within +/- 6.0%. This means that a total census would reveal an answer of not less than 44.0% and not more than 56.0%.
