A retrospective analysis of 1,000 consecutive patients was undertaken to determine the frequency and types of common dental problems presenting to the Emergency and Oral Medicine Clinic at Bristol Dental Hospital. The results show that most attenders presented with problems readily manageable by dental practitioners, but providers of emergency dental services should be aware that rare, but serious, conditions can occur. Information presented in this paper should be incorporated into the design of undergraduate curricula and emergency dental services.
对连续1000例患者进行了回顾性分析，以确定在布里斯托尔牙科医院急诊与口腔医学诊所出现的常见牙科问题的频率和类型。结果显示，大多数就诊者所呈现的问题可由牙科医生轻松处理，但急诊牙科服务提供者应意识到，可能会出现罕见但严重的情况。本文所提供的信息应纳入本科课程设计和急诊牙科服务中。
