This paper describes the structure of a dental practice management game. The game covers a wide spectrum of management decisions in setting up and in running a dental practice. The decisions considered include practice location, the form of practice, staffing mix, 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. The paper also discusses the cost and time required to run the game. Many sample printouts are included.
