Future of Dentistry Survey

To date, the Survey response is in line with recent years. We are projecting the usual response of approximately 1000 completed surveys, allowing us once again to publish some regional data. There were no apparent problems with clarity in any of the questions.

The draw for prizes will be held on June 15th, and the complete report should be available to members in good standing by the end of July.

Market Research Primer

A Market Research Primer was prepared for and distributed to embers in March. We hope you will find this to be a useful training tool and a source of common language in future DIAC discussions.

Dental Products Market Share Study

A Market Share Study for dental sundry dales in Canada has been postponed indefinitely as we were unable to obtain sufficient dealer participation to ensure accurate results.
