Development of Dental Services for Arctic Populations: Labrador and the Baffin Region Compared
The file processed with OCR is smaller and allows copying and pasting (though this may contain errors). The file without OCR is much larger and does not allow copying and pasting but the visual quality is generally superior. This thesis outlines the problems which I perceived in the administration o...

The file processed with OCR is smaller and allows copying and pasting (though this may contain errors). The file without OCR is much larger and does not allow copying and pasting but the visual quality is generally superior. This thesis outlines the problems which I perceived in the administration of oral health services for the Baffin Region, North West Territories when working there in 1985 and 1986. The recommendations are suggestions for some solutions. Part I provides a background by describing the elements of public dental health and their relevance to the north. A comparison is made in Part III with similar services provided by the Grenfell Regional Health Services in northern Newfoundland and Labrador, not only because of the broad parity between the two regions but also because of my previous equivalent working knowledge of them from 1983 to 1985. Some specific features from other parts of the circumpolar north are used to reinforce the points raised within the recommendations.
