RESUMO
The dental treatment needs of an adult population (career army personnel, Israeli Defence Forces, aged 20 to 46) were determined. A method is described for quantitating total restorative, endodontic, oral surgical, periodontal, and prosthetic treatment needs. The amount, and in some categories the complexity, of treatment required per person increased in proportion to age. The estimated time required per adult (all ages) to complete all dental treatments was approximately 10.5 h, including 1 h for dental hygiene therapy. These data permit calculation of cost and professional personnel needed to treat this population.

A technique for making final impressions, registration of jaw relations, and positioning of anterior teeth with the same record bases during the fabrication of an obturator prosthesis is described. By using this technique, a more predictable result may be attained with respect to jaw relations, obturator height, and lip position, all of which may be compromised in the edentulous patient with a postsurgical maxillary defect.

A two-tier emergency dental services delivery system was developed following the October 1973 War, based on large mobile dental clinics (definitive restorations) and portable field units (emergency treatments). The increased demand for definitive restorations at the front lines, the mountainous terrain, and the extreme climatic conditions encountered during the Lebanon War, 1982, necessitated the development of a third alternative. A standard, compact module, either truck-mounted or helicopter-lifted, was outfitted as a fully equipped dental clinic according to Dental Corps specifications.
