One-third of solo practitioners and 44 percent of group practices own at least one intraoral camera. While 78 percent of dentists report they use a computer in their practices (Dental Economics 1996 Practice Survey), the Dewar Sloan study shows that only 13 percent of solo dentists and 19 percent of group practices have computers in their operatories.
A trend toward the virtual-group practice was noted in the survey. Nearly 15 percent of survey respondents who defined themselves as solo general practitioners said that they share facilities and/or equipment with at least one other practice.
