Comparison of the Output in Weighted Work Units of Installation Dental Laboratories with that of Regional Dental Activities. Part II.
Abstract
Dental laboratories are essential to the mission of the Army dental care system. There are dental laboratories in almost every US Army dental clinic. There is also a system consisting of four large central dental laboratories whose primary mission is to provide support to a number of dental activities (DENTAC) within a defined geographical area. Both RDAs and dental laboratories are essential, although there is some duplication of effort. The objectives of this study were threefold: (1) to determine the actual utilization of dental laboratory technicians assigned to the DENTAC; (2) to identify patterns of technician assignment to the DENTAC, both civilian and military, for information which may be useful to higher headquarters upon which to base future policies; (3) to identify which laboratory, DENTAC, or RDA, is more productive in terms of average output per technician assigned.
