Comparing human resource planning models in dentistry: A case study using Canadian Armed Forces dental clinics

ConclusionsThe findings reveal differences between estimation models of <1 FTE, with higher estimates produced from the dentist‐to‐population ratio model. A larger difference was found in clinics with larger populations. The perceived overestimation of dental human resource requirements suggests that changing to a needs‐based model may result in cost savings.
