abstract: Although the importance of good management practice in dentistry has been implied by many speakers and writers for many years, little has been published to substantiate these ideas. The Management Research Initiative will provide evidence to support or disprove the idea that general management theory and techniques may improve the quality of patient care and practice profitability.
