A mixed longitudinal descriptive survey has been designed to answer some questions regarding the effectiveness of dental health care. For a period of 20 years the dental records of 845 Dutch servicemen have been analyzed with regard to the amount of dental treatment per tooth and surface. Cross‐sectional results of this study are compared with those of other studies. Generally the results of this study concerning restorations and extractions per tooth type accord with the literature. The provision of full dentures is relatively low in the Army.
