^Notes:

^{1. The population of full-year Providing-Performer/Principal and Associate Dentists is estimated from the entire population using the proportion of these dentists who responded to the survey. The population counts may not sum due to rounding and will not match other sources, particularly the Dental Earnings and Expenses Estimates reports, as different methodologies are used to determine the counts.}

^{2. Where results are based on samples less than 100 and less than 75 per cent of the population, a footnote has been added to the report.}
