title: Changing financial base for dental education.
abstract: In recent years, there have been material changes in the manner in which U.S. dental schools are funded. This fact has had profound ramifications for the practices, operations, and culture of the schools. The kinds of programs supported, patients treated, and students admitted all are affected by the sources of available revenue as schools can only do that which does not jeopardize their economic viability.
