A Description of the Dental Health and Treatment of Ukraine Military at U.S. Army Clinics in Germany
The DEs in the Ukrainian military cohort suggest that chronic, untreated dental disease has progressed without routine care for years. The assertion that caries has progressed to a nonrestorable condition is supported by the distribution that 63% of all DE visits included oral surgery treatment. Based on the distribution of dental treatment, US dental officers must be proficient in oral surgery and prosthodontic care.
