The authors discuss changes that occurred in per-patient gross income to dental practices from insured patients between 1980 and 1995. The current young-adult cohort appears to provide lower per-patient practice incomes compared with earlier young-adult cohorts. These changes may be the result of differences in the need for restorative care among young adults who benefited from the childhood caries decline of the 1970s and 1980s. If this reduced use of restorative services pattern persists as this young-adult cohort and succeeding cohorts age, the effect on dental practices could be substantial.
