Limitations of the profit-volume model in analyzing dental teaching clinics
LM DuBois
Use of the cost center concept and the profit- volume model has been advocated to analyze the fiscal position of dental teaching clinics.

The purpose of this paper is to review these limitations and to discuss their implication.
