Abstract
This report provides information on the use of emergency dental care among adult public dental patients during 2001-02. Persons eligible for public dental care generally are holders of government health cards, such as the unemployed and aged pensioners. These cardholders are a financially disadvantaged group of adults within the Australian population. In this report the pattern of emergency dental care among adult public dental patients is investigated by sociodemographic characteristics and oral health status.
