Abstract This paper discusses a computer oriented model of dental programs. The two major concepts incorporated into the model are the personnel involved in providing care and the type of care being provided. For user specified categories of service and various personnel configurations the model estimates personnel requirements, in terms of time and cost, and facility requirements, in terms of the number of dental chairs required. An application is given which uses these measures to compare currently established Veterans Administration dental practices, private practices and highly delegated practices.
