[Prosthetic treatments (comparison between 1963 and 1978) and epidemiologic consequences].
The findings of two dissertations, one from 1963 and one from 1977/1978, dealing with the prosthetic care of a large group of clients from the same compulsory health insurance plan were briefly compared with each other. The increase in contracts since 1974 was reflected in the increased utilization of prosthetic-therapeutic means, particularly bridges and cast prostheses. On the basis of other comparative figures, it was concluded that the loss of teeth is gradually decreasing, but tooth loss should be determined at 10-year intervals. Both dissertations included other comparative values as well.
