Dentist age, period and cohort effects on provision of dental services in Australia: 1983 ‐84 to 2009‐10

ConclusionsTrends in dental services provision can be associated with age, period and cohort effects. The study found the rate of diagnostic, preventive and total services increased over time. Meanwhile, an increasing rate of diagnostic, preventive and the total services was observed when moving from older cohorts to younger cohorts among Australian dentists suggesting a sustained shift towards these services into the future.
