    Author: Brown TT, Pourat N, Glassman P, Chung J, Nicholson G, Hong JS.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 2012 Mar; 40(3):251-8. PubMed ID: 22655423.
    Abstract:
    The authors estimated the following levels of technical efficiency for three types of dental practices in California where technical efficiency is defined as the maximum output that can be produced from a given set of inputs: generalists (including pediatric dentists), 96.5 percent; specialists, 77.1 percent; community dental clinics, 83.6 percent. Combining this with information on access, it is estimated that the California dental care system in 2009-10 could serve approximately 74 percent of the population.
