An Automated Information System: Results After Four Years.

Abstract

The effect of an automated dental recall and information system on dental readiness was evaluated over the four years of the system's implementation. Automation and the fleet/shore dental liaison which it facilitated, was deemed responsible for a 17.5 percent increase in the number of class 1 individuals and a 7.5 and 11.0 percent decrease in the number of class 3 and 4 individuals, respectively. These dental health findings equate directly with a higher state of personnel combat readiness. Keywords: Oral epidemiology.
