Reorganisation of dental services in Britain gives new opportunities for planning. Geographical methodology provides new techniques. An elementary spatial analysis of variations in dental health in Newcastle Area Health Authority (Teaching) shows that dental health varies with availability and access to treatment facilities. Opposite types of geographical distribution of community (School) and general dental services are illustrated showing location biases for each type of service. The evaluation of the spatial distribution of dental services is shown to be basic to planning and a key to improved dental health.
英国牙科服务的重组为规划带来了新机遇。地理方法提供了新技术。对纽卡斯尔地区卫生局(教学)牙科健康差异的初步空间分析表明,牙科健康状况随治疗设施的可及性和可获得性而变化。文中展示了社区(学校)和普通牙科服务相反类型的地理分布,说明了每种服务类型的位置偏差。牙科服务空间分布的评估被证明是规划的基础,也是改善牙科健康的关键。
