The research question was whether the amount of debt had any correlation with the particular field of dentistry dentists pursued, whether it be a dental surgeon, an orthodontist, etc and what kind of environment they chose to work in (private practice, education, government).

The researchers concluded those with more debt chose to work in private practices.
