[Evaluation of efficiency of dental care for children--results of a cross-sectional study].

Abstract

Using special parameters like the percentage of treated children, degree of treatment and the rate of secondary caries, a retrospective estimation of dental care for children in Rostock County was performed. After that the best results in dental care could be recorded in children of towns. The degree of treatment generally was worse in children of a rural population. On the one hand there is demanded an equalizing of the disproportions in the personal situation in dentistry for children, on the other side there is recommended a yearly analysis of the efficiency of treatment and based on this a territorial program for dental care in children.
