Objectives: To identify dentists` perceptions regarding the possible introduction of private health insurance plans, thereby providing basic data to improve the existing dental health insurance system.

The survey was designed to gather information on the dentists` positions, perceptions and attitudes toward on a proposed introduction of privately run insurance schemes. Results: A negative general consensus was found for the privately run scheme. Also it appeared that an overall review was required.
