On examining the individual defects marked up for treatment
at the " Leaver " Group inspection it is found that:—
(i) Dental Defects = 25.59 per cent. of the total defects in the
"Leaver" Group, and this is also the commonest form of defect
in the other two Routine Groups for 1933, constituting 47.23 per
cent. of the "Entrants'" defects and 34.70 per cent. of "Intermediates"
defects. It is noteworthy, however, that these percentages
decline pari passu with advancing school age, thus demonstrating
the valuable work carried out by the School Dental
Surgeon.
