The role dentists can play in mass casualty and disaster events

Albert H Guay. Dent Clin North Am. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

Dentistry has valuable assets, both in personnel and facilities, to bring to the initial response to a mass casualty event when the local traditional medical system is overwhelmed. This article describes the services dentists can provide to allow physicians to provide the services only they can provide. The education and training of dentists that is required for preparation and the need to develop an integrated emergency response plan are discussed.
