This study evaluated the 1985 cost‐productivity of staff dentists and general practice residents at 11 dental clinics with general practice residency (GPR) programs and five nonteaching dental clinics in Veterans Administration hospitals. The results indicate that on the basis of dental service production, GPR facilities are or should be as cost‐efficient as nonteaching facilities. It was also found that GP residents can repay a major part of their training costs.
