A bridge too far? The relationship between interventive operative dentistry and future dental morbidity.

Background and aim Unscheduled dental attendances (UDA) and the associated morbidity can cause individual distress, disrupt military effectiveness and have broader societal impacts. Preventing future dental morbidity is an essential component of dentistry. This, the largest study of its type, aimed to examine the relationship between clinical and demographic variables and UDA, and to quantify how well military dental risk categorisation predicts subsequent UDA events.
