title: A comparison of retail dental center and traditional dental center patrons.
abstract: Retail dental centers have emerged as an alternative delivery system for dental care. Previous research examining retail dentistry has focused on patients of specific retail dental centers in limited geographic areas. The authors extend past efforts by comparing the perceptions and demographic and patronage characteristics of retail and traditional dental center patients in a nationwide survey.
