[Comparison between the findings of the AOK health insurance company (position 01) and clinical diagnosis in Berlin patients].
The dental records of 9986 patients between the ages of 12 and 50 (position 01) of the AOK (Public Health Insurance) Berlin were studied concerning missing and carious teeth. The number of teeth and actual frequency of caries were established. It was shown that it was possible and practicable to obtain information on number and loss of teeth on the basis of sick notes. On the other hand the actual frequency of caries was found to be significantly higher on clinical examination than could be derived from AOK statistics: 12 to 15 year-olds showed on average 4,7 acute carious teeth on clinical examination as against 2,3 on AOK records.
