Mobile Dental Units at the deckplate

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The concept of bringing dental care to the active duty member can be traced back as far as World War I. More than 80 years later, this still holds true. Today, Mobile Dental Units (MDU) seek out the patient, saving hundreds and thousands of man-hours which would otherwise be consumed by patients traveling to a point where their needs could be met. The goal of this research project is to determine the optimal number of MDUs to meet the demands of the force they support. The site chosen for this analysis was Naval Dental Center, Southwest, in San Diego, Ca. This command was chosen because it is the largest dental command within Navy medicine
