A survey of 560 graduates of the University of Kentucky College of Dentistry was performed to document the current methods of physical evaluation used by a group of practicing dentists and to sample their opinions about potential additions to the dental curriculum in physical evaluation, as advocated by the Council on Dental Education. The questionnaire was completed and returned by 59 percent of the practitioners. The results indicated that physical evaluation of dental patients was done primarily by using the medical history. Examination of blood pressure, other vital signs, and the head and neck were done infrequently. The clinical laboratory was reportedly utilized frequently. The respondents' attitudes were ones of general support for increasing the emphasis on physical evaluation in dentistry, but with varying opinions about appropriateness.
对肯塔基大学牙科学院的560名毕业生进行了一项调查，以记录一组执业牙医目前使用的身体评估方法，并抽样了解他们对牙科教育委员会倡导的在牙科课程中增加身体评估内容的潜在补充意见。59%的从业者完成并返还了问卷。结果表明，对牙科患者的身体评估主要通过使用病史来进行。很少进行血压、其他生命体征以及头颈部的检查。据报道，临床实验室的使用频率较高。受访者总体上支持在牙科中增加对身体评估的重视，但对于其适当性存在不同意见。
