摘要
Regular care is defined as a visit for care within two years.Oral health is defined within the psychosocial framework of 'discomfort, disabiliy and discontent'.Significantly more registered patients are regular than irregular attenders.Significantly more regular attendees are healthier compared with irregular and new patients.A 15 month registration time frame is inconsistent with developing equitable services.
