One way to measure the vitality of a profession is to look at the trend in its practitioners' real incomes. During the 10-year period 1986 through 1995, the average real net income of all independent dentists rose 30.7 percent, or 2.7 percent annually, after being adjusted for inflation using 1995 U.S. dollars. The national per capita personal income (base = 1995) increased 10.1 percent during this same period, or about 1.0 percent annually [corrected]. Using real per capita income as a benchmark, the authors found that the purchasing power of dentists as a group has increased more rapidly than the purchasing power of the overall U.S. population.
