“…These categories were selected for the primary analyses through identification of clusters in the distribution of claims counts. Additionally, these categories are also consistent with meaningful time‐based clinical contributions as 30‐minute increments are consistent with the average times for preventive dental visits within the dental safety net . The clinical engagement measure is described in more detail in the Technical Appendix.…”

Elderly residents of long-term care facilities (LTC) have difficulty accessing dental services. Aiming to improve access for this population, the Geriatric Dental Program (GDP) was established by UBC Faculty of Dentistry in 2002. Within the GDP, elderly people receive fee-for-service dental care. The objective of this research was to explore whether accessing these services had an impact on the lives of the patients' relatives. Data was collected through semi-structured, face-to-face, audio-recorded interviews with family members of 12 GDP patients. A criterion sampling method was used to select the interviewed family. Interview transcription and data coding procedures were conducted following Saldaña. NVivo software was used to code and organize the transcripts. Data analysis followed a qualitative thematic analysis. Final analysis shows that patient relatives are worried about their relatives' oral health. They believe that it is difficult to find private dentists with geriatric expertise and to make appointments for their family members in private practice. In addition, they report that the GDP made their life less stressful and relieved the burden of setting up appointments for their relatives. Thus, it is expected that a similar program may positively affect the lives of patient relatives by improving access to dental care services.

“…One FTE dentist provides close to 3,000 patient visits annually; one FTE hygienist, 1,300 visits. [3][4][5] FQHCs receive an annual award (330 grant) from the federal government to cover the cost of providing care to indigent patients (those unable to pay for all the care received). FQHCs are reimbursed per visit for services provided to indigent patients.…”

The inancial impact of community-based dental education on dental school and community clinic budgets is a major issue. The evidence suggests that community experiences for dental students of ifty or more days, if effectively managed, can increase school net revenues due to the following factors: 1) the community rotations increase student productivity, approximating the loss of dental school clinical income; 2) the reallocation of unused clinical resources at the dental school reduces student clinic deicits; 3) schools and federally qualiied health centers (FQHCs) that share surplus student patient revenues generate additional net income; and 4) enrollment of more students without additional new facilities and faculty increases total school tuition revenues. For FQHC dental clinics, student rotations increase the number of patients treated and may generate surplus revenues.
