This paper reports on two studies which investigated levels of discontinued orthodontic treatment amongst patients under 18 years, who had been treated in the General Dental Service (GDS) and Community Dental Service (CDS) of the National Health Service during June and July 1991. These complement the study of discontinued Hospital Dental Service treatment already reported. The studies indicated that, at the time, the levels were 13.1 per cent in the GDS and 12.5 per cent in the CDS. The figure for the GDS was much lower than that of 20 per cent reported in the Schanschieff Report. There was little difference in the levels of discontinued treatment between those working in the GDS with an orthodontic qualification (12.1 per cent) and those without (13.5 per cent). The results suggest that the levels for discontinued orthodontic treatment in those aged under 18 years of age may be lower than previously reported.
本文报告了两项研究，这两项研究调查了1991年6月和7月期间在国民保健服务体系的普通牙科服务（GDS）和社区牙科服务（CDS）接受治疗的18岁以下患者中正畸治疗中断的水平。这些研究补充了已报告的关于医院牙科服务治疗中断情况的研究。研究表明，当时GDS中的治疗中断水平为13.1%，CDS中的为12.5%。GDS的这一数字远低于《尚施切夫报告》中报告的20%。在GDS中具有正畸资格的工作人员（12.1%）和没有正畸资格的工作人员（13.5%）之间，治疗中断水平几乎没有差异。结果表明，18岁以下人群正畸治疗中断的水平可能低于先前报告的水平。
