摘要：
In this survey normative need as assessed by an examining dentist and the subject's own perceived need are compared with need assessed by untrained care workers. A method for simple assessment of elderly people on admission to day centres or elderly peoples' residential homes is described and its efficiency in use assessed during a survey of 41 subjects. Results suggest that use of a simple questionnaire can alert carers to problems requiring dental care - oral hygiene regimens can then be improved, dentures named and dentists called to provide treatment. Too often this type of initial assessment is neglected.
