title: [An analysis of dental morbidity based on patient visits].
abstract: The present-day system for assessment of the activities of dental clinics does not reflect their efficacy, for it does not take into consideration the population disease incidence and changes in this parameter. The author suggests that the incidence of dental diseases be assessed from the records of consultations at health institutions, as exemplified by a random sample of 2515 primary consultations at dental clinics. The cause of the consultation was classified in accordance with the International Disease Classification, 9th Revision. The author claims that such mode of assessment of the physicians' and clinics' work efficacy, will improve the quality of the diagnosis.
