Authors' objectives:
This programme of research sought to address three research questions: (1) what is the efficiency of NHS dental teams that make use of role substitution?; (2) what are the barriers to, and facilitators of, role substitution in NHS dental practices?; and (3) how do incentives in the remuneration systems influence the organisation of these inputs and production of outputs in the NHS?
Authors' recommendations:
Better alignment between the financial incentives within the NHS dental contract and the use of role substitution is required, although professional acceptability remains critical.
