Abstract
This paper describes the structure of a dental practice management game. The game covers a wide spectrum of management decisions involved in setting up and running a dental practice. The decisions considered include practice location, form of practice, staffing mix and salaries, and the purchasing or leasing of equipment. The game also covers major daily, monthly, and yearly decisions, including forecasting patient load, economic analysis, and scheduling of patients, workers, and operatories.
