Abstract

This longitudinal study examined changes in oral health and emergency rates of Army, Air Force, and Navy recruits during the 4 years immediately following entry on active duty. In 1998, 1,331 dental records of recruit participants in the 1994 Tri-Service Comprehensive Oral Health Survey were located, and dental readiness classification and emergency data were analyzed. All services were successful in achieving and maintaining operational readiness among 1994 recruits who spent >93% of their first 4 years of military service in a deployable oral health status (Dental Readiness Classification 1 or 2). However, among recruits with initial Dental Readiness Classification 3, only 57.4% achieved class 1 (oral health) at any point during the 4-year study period. An annual dental emergency rate of 749 per 1000 was found among class 3 personnel, 192 per 1000 among class 2, and 85 per 1000 among class 1.

摘要

这项纵向研究调查了陆军、空军和海军新兵在现役服役后的4年里口腔健康状况和急诊率的变化。1998年，找到了1994年三军综合口腔健康调查中1331名新兵参与者的牙科记录，并对牙科战备状态分类和急诊数据进行了分析。所有军种都成功地在1994年入伍新兵中实现并维持了作战准备状态，这些新兵在其服役的头4年中，超过93%的时间处于可部署的口腔健康状态（牙科战备状态分类为1或2）。然而，在初始牙科战备状态分类为3的新兵中，在4年研究期内的任何时候，只有57.4%的人达到了1级（口腔健康）。3级人员的年度牙科急诊率为每1000人749例，2级为每1000人192例，1级为每1000人85例。
