Dental records of military personnel. 1985

I R Hill

Military personnel lead a more mobile life than do civilians and they face additional hazards. It is important, therefore, that their dental records should be readily available. Assumptions that these records are greatly different from those of civilians are erroneous. This paper examines the medico-legal arguments for their compatibility and discusses the concept of confidentiality in relation to occupation and the wider duties of dentists to society.
