A retrospective study of the emergency and primary dental care patients treated at King Saud University College of Dentistry was carried out for the years 1987 and 1988. The total number of patients treated was 17,653 during 1987 and 16,221 during 1988. Restorative treatment constituted the major category followed by consultations, screenings and extractions. Periodontal and prosthetic treatment was much less compared with other categories of dental care. There was an improvement in dentist-to-patient ratio during 1988 as compared to 1987. The overall trend of dental care could be gauged only by a comprehensive analyses of dental treatment at the primary care clinics, students and specialist clinics of the College.
