[Evaluation of the accomplishments of a state dental practice]

Starting from the great importance of morbidity and efficiency statistics to health political decisions, the author presents a critical evaluation of the services provided by a State dental practice in 1973. The stomatological primary services, i. e., those of conservative and surgical stomatology, constitute by far the greatest part of all services provided in the field of basis dental care. A comparison with data from the national and the international literature shows that these services as well as those provided in the field of prosthetic stomatology are satisfactory. Furthermore, there was a great percentage of stomatological services performed for children. - But the special consideration services provided do not and cannot meet the demands of the population. This is illustrated by an inquiry into the actual need for stomatological services per time unit.
