About this study
The dental Health Care Access Facility at the University Hospital of Nancy opened in January 2023. The patients ot the dental Health Care Access Facility consulting the dental department have largely been treated as dental emergencies. However, to date, no study has been carried out into the nature of these patients' consultations or treatments. This new patient management has necessitated adaptations within the dental department, but there are no data to enable us to better understand and organize the care of these patients. Moreover, the cost of dental emergencies has not been estimated.
Our hypotheses are that patients of the dental Health Care Access Facility consulted mainly the dental departement for painful emergencies and that the emergency dental cares were provided rapidly and at low cost. On the other hand, patient flow was probably correlated with the days when a social worker of the dental Health Care Access Facility was present, referring patients to the dental department.
