Abstract

The Canadian Forces Dental Services (CFDS) provides dental support to Canadian Forces (CF) on selected United Nations (UN) duties. This study investigated the nature of dental care sought by and provided to 1,000 Canadian regular force UN peacekeepers by CFDS from January to May 1993, during a 149 day UN mission to Somalia. Care was categorized as either emergency, urgency, or routine. Emergency and urgency care represented 10 per cent and 25 per cent of the 269 patient encounters, respectively. The dental casualty rate (per 1,000 tropps per year) was 232.
