Despite routine dental screenings and treatments before military deployments, dental emergencies may arise due to acute infections, trauma or failed restorations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the dental service during a three-month deployment on a German warship.
A retrospective analysis of dental attendances and treatments in a German naval task group of three ships with an average total of 650 soldiers. Diagnosis, treatments performed, percentage of emergencies, routine procedures and numbers of appointments were recorded.
Out of 650 soldiers, there were 71 patients (10.92%) with a mean age of 25.1 ±5 .3 years. Out of 136 treatments, 17.65% were for emergency treatment, which is equivalent to 3.69% of all servicemen of the task group. Combining the reasons for dental emergencies, 95.84% were caused by caries.
The pre-screening of sailors before an overseas deployment is necessary to avoid severe dental treatments. Caries remains the main cause for dental emergencies, and medical doctors should be trained to treat caries lesions if a dentist is not on board.
尽管在军事部署前进行了常规牙科检查和治疗，但由于急性感染、创伤或修复失败，仍可能出现牙科急症。本研究的目的是评估在一艘德国军舰上为期三个月的部署期间的牙科服务情况。
对一个由三艘舰艇组成的德国海军特遣部队中的牙科就诊和治疗情况进行回顾性分析，该特遣部队平均共有650名士兵。记录诊断结果、所进行的治疗、急症百分比、常规程序和预约次数。
在650名士兵中，有71名患者（10.92%），平均年龄为25.1±5.3岁。在136次治疗中，17.65%为急诊治疗，这相当于特遣部队所有军人的3.69%。综合牙科急症的原因，95.84%是由龋齿引起的。
在海外部署前对水手进行预筛查对于避免进行严重的牙科治疗是必要的。龋齿仍然是牙科急症的主要原因，如果船上没有牙医，应培训医生治疗龋齿病变。
