Abstract:

Purpose: the aim of this retrospective chart study was to compare the periodicity of dental exams with the need for emergency dental exam and treatment resulting in extraction in a diverse population of pediatric dental patients in Columbia Missouri, U.S.

Methods: charts were reviewed for children seen for at least 1 dental exam at Compass Health Pediatric Dental Clinic between June 6th, 2023, and October 1st, 2024. The number of recall exam visits was compared against the number of emergency exam visits that resulted in extraction of a tooth.

Results: pending final data.

Conclusions: pending final data.
