Abstract

Surveys were conducted in Victoria, Australia, to estimate the demand for prosthetic treatment by examining the needs of a randomly selected group of the population. Similar surveys were conducted in relation to the contribution made by the dentists in Victoria and also that of a recently introduced group of workers, the Advanced Dental Technicians. It was found that approximately 19% of the population required prosthetic treatment in the full denture field and that the existing dentists were not meeting this need. When the Advanced Dental Technicians are more fully engaged in clinical work, the need may well be met.

摘要

在澳大利亚维多利亚州进行了多项调查，通过研究随机抽取的一组人群的需求来估算对修复治疗的需求。针对维多利亚州牙医的贡献以及最近引入的一类工作人员——高级牙科技师的贡献，也开展了类似调查。结果发现，约19%的人口在全口义齿领域需要修复治疗，而现有的牙医无法满足这一需求。当高级牙科技师更全面地参与临床工作时，这一需求很可能会得到满足。
