title: Pennsylvania dental establishments in 2001.
abstract: Census Bureau reports for 2001 were used to develop data for "average" dental establishments in the counties of the state of Pennsylvania. There have been marked decreases in the number of residents per establishment and the proportional representation of smaller dental establishments (less than five employees) since 1980. Dental establishment "average" employee salaries ranged from $17,400 to more than $37,100 in the various counties. The need to monitor dental establishment activities beyond the confines of one's own facility is emphasized.
