[Requirements and time factors in dental activities]

The exact determination of the demands on, and the allowed times for, the stomatological activity is an essential prerequisite of fixing measures for the increase in quality and efficiency of the stomatological care and for the control of their success. The results of a discriminating work analysis on the basis of an independent study on a representative sample of dentist-nurse collectives are compared with the findings of other authors. After resolution of the stomatological basic activities into partial activities and after calculations of the arithmetic means of the respective allowed times, the authors establish synthetic allowed times for the basic activities by summing up the adjustable, necessary and defined partial activities.
