title: [Dental service for nursing home residents in The Netherlands--the present situation].
abstract: In order to establish adequate dental care for nursing home residents it is important to gather information about the present situation. For that purpose a questionnaire was sent to dentists who were involved in this field of dentistry. The results indicate that dental care for nursing home residents has to be improved. In order to attain this improvement the dental service for nursing home residents should be better organized and research should be carried out with regard to the specific problems arising in treating these patients.
