The cost of school dental care--some thoughts on economic analysis.
The paper by Blaikie and Weidenhofer ("The Cost of School Dental Care: A Preliminary Economic Analysis"--Australian Dental Journal, April, 1978) is used as the basis for some considerations of economic analysis applied to public dental services. It is shown that the public sector is not necessarily more cost-effective than private dentists.
