Abstract
A preventive dentistry program for fleet and shore based naval units assigned to Hawaii is monitored by a computerized dental recall system. The data base contains information concerning the identity, location, dental classification, required treatment and/or examination, and location of each individual's record. There are approximately 25,000 individual records in the data base. Utilizing this data, several functions concerning the management of dental treatment are accomplished. These include the dental recall of each individual, the dental status of each unit, the efficiency of each clinic, and most important, the identity of personnel who do not respond to treatment calls.
