A 2003 Survey of Dental Practices reported net income from dentistry-related sources.
Dentists Differ from Doctors
Dentists differ from physicians in that 90% are in private practice. In 2002, the average practitioner’s net income was $174,350. The average dental specialist’s net was $291,250. These figures represent a 0.7% and a 5.8% increase over 2001, respectively.
Assessment
Net income rose steadily since 1986, when general dentists made an average of $69,920 and specialists an average of $97,920. But, by 2010, according to PayScale.com, the average general dentist earned $98,276 – $157,437; a decreasing trend allocated as follows.

Study Recommends Change in Dental Payment System
Dental professionals should be monitored more closely and be reimbursed differently, and more dentistry should be done by nondentists, argue the authors of a new report funded by the Kellogg Foundation and the DentaQuest Institute.
These changes are necessary to address the spiraling cost of dental care and broaden the number of people who get care, says the report, Oral Health Quality Improvement in the Era of Accountability.

IOW: Outcomes based dentistry … I love it.

It sounds to me like the Kellogg Foundation and hangers-on want to replace free-market competition for dental patients based on patients choices with an adjustable algorithm that can be used to control dentists’ cost-effectiveness.
For dentists, the “new incentives” represent everything that is immoral about sharecropping.
Thanks, Mary.
