Bridging the gap between costly continuing education and instant insights
Staying at the forefront of dental knowledge has always come at a price – in dollars, time, and effort. You have thumbed through costly journals late into the night and navigated university libraries for that one critical article.
Now there's a better way, and better knowledge means better outcomes.
How much are we really spending on knowledge?
Consider just a few of the sources many of us rely on:
The Rising Costs of Continuing Education
$745
Single Specialty Journal
Annual cost for The Angle Orthodontist institutional subscription
$1K
Top-Tier Journal
Annual cost for Journal of Clinical Periodontology
$5K
Journal Bundle
Annual cost for Wiley's dental journals package
1
Individual Journal Subscriptions
The Angle Orthodontist ($745/year for institutional access) and AJO-DO ($283/year for personal subscription) represent significant investments for single specialty journals.
2
Professional Association Access
JADA comes with ADA membership ($300-$800 annually). Even with membership, print editions still cost about $29/year for members.
3
Specialty Publishers
Quintessence journals cost $150-$300 per journal annually. Their International journal alone is €129/year (≈$140) for online-only access.
4
Major Publisher Portfolios
Wiley's journals like Journal of Clinical Periodontology cost around €953/year (≈$1,000). Their complete dental package can reach $5,065 annually.
5
Comprehensive Platforms
Elsevier's ClinicalKey for Dentistry ranges from $299/year for basics to $500-$750 for the full dental package - 2 to 5 times more than DentalGPT.
6
Institutional Access
Harvard's Countway Library represents the gold standard, providing access to hundreds of dental and medical journals and databases spanning "nearly every medical and dental discipline."
Fragmented and Expensive
Annual Costs
You might easily spend $2,000+ per year subscribing to just a handful of journals and databases to cover general dentistry, ortho, perio, and implants. And even that leaves gaps – no single set of subscriptions gives you everything.
