[Analysis of dental health services at selected large industrial plants]

The study was based on the results of dental epidemiological investigation and questionnaires obtained from four selected industrial plants, as well as on the data provided by the chief province dental officers. Analysis of available data indicated that organization of industrial dental service is not successful, despite better manpower and equipment conditions than in the general dental service. The system of industrial dental service provides neither adequate dental care nor specific prevention connected with the work environment. The low efficiency of dental health service in the test factories seems to be representative, in general, for the dental health service in large industrial plants throughout the country.
