Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I slutet av 1960-talet och början av 1970-talet skapade den odontologiska forskningen en bättre förståelse för de stora tandsjukdomarnas etiologi, prevention och behandling. Forsknignens framsteg ökade intresset för förebyggande åtgärder, bättre dignostik och förbättrad kvalitet i det rastaurativa arbetet. Samtidigt fanns en brist på både allmäntandläkare och specialister. Jönköpingsundersökningarna är i första hand exempel på tvärsnittsstudier som fångar upp de förändringar som sker inte bara inom tandvåden utan i hela samhället.
