Early career experiences of young periodontists.

Studies conducted in 1979 and 1984 suggested that young periodontists in the early eighties were faced with a variety of stresses and challenges not faced by their counterparts of previous generations. Among the changes observed was the fact that sharply increased numbers of younger periodontists were practicing in multiple locations. The present study focused on multiple location practice and on other early career experiences in periodontology. Multiple site practice appears to be an outgrowth of expanding group practices and the increased popularity of part-time associateship opportunities. Costs of establishing solo practice, as well as other factors, serve to encourage young specialists to seek such positions. Many specialists see this style of practice as one way to increase their market share, but stresses arising from multiple site practice include travel time and lack of continuity with patients. Thus far, younger periodontists remain satisfied with their careers, but the job market suggests that more and more periodontists will be practicing in multiple locations during the early years of their careers, thus prolonging stabilization of their economic and professional lives.

Use of rubber dam and its association with other endodontic procedures in New Zealand.

The use of rubber dam for endodontic treatment in New Zealand was analysed by a national survey of general dental practitioners. The response rate was 79 percent. Rubber dam was used routinely by 57 percent, its use increasing among practitioners graduating since 1969. A greater percentage of practitioners with less than 10 years experience used rubber dam than did more experienced practitioners. Use of rubber dam was associated with sodium hypochlorite and EDTA as canal irrigants. Reamers were the favoured hand instrument of non-users of rubber dam. No significant differences were found in the canal obturation techniques of users and non-users, but rubber dam users used the long-cone paralleling method of radiography significantly more than non-users. Practitioners in solo practice used rubber dam significantly less than those in group practice. Rubber dam users attended significantly more refresher courses in endodontics than non-users.

Doctor's other office, an alternative to the emergency room.

Doctor's Other Office (DOO), a group of ten family physicians, offers after-hours and weekend health care to non-critical patients who might otherwise go to a hospital Emergency Room, even though their medical problems do not require expensive, elaborate facilities of the Emergency Room. Advantages to patients include less expense than the ER, care that is appropriate to their needs, and comprehensive, continuous care through dealing with physicians who will follow through with referral to a regular physician, often the patient's own family physician. DOO physician members enjoy a rational division of after-hours and weekend coverage among colleagues that permits more free time, yet assures that patients receive good quality, continuous care. The methods of operation are discussed, including personnel schedules, consultants, hospital coverage, and finances. The DOO income just meets office expenses, however, life insurance and other fringe benefits that physician members receive through the corporation aid in making this organization more financially attractive.
