Since its inception in 2000, Gauteng placed community service dentists from every qualifying group in various facilities in the province. Their main purpose were to render clinical services under normal conditions to the different communities we serve. Objectives: The aim of this descriptive analysis was to determine some baseline norm for future guidance in decision-making in regard to compulsory community service in dentistry. Methods: Individually completed monthly service rendering statistic forms for 306 months over the period 2000 to 2003 were analysed. Results: From an average of 274.34 patient attendances per clinician per month, a sealant/restoration/extraction ratio of 1:14:80 was calculated. Apart from 0.5 recementing of inlays/crowns/bridges per month, prosthodontic services per month were confined to 2.3 dentures placed and 1.1 repair/reline/softbase’s done. Although per month 1.4 emergency RCT’s were done, only 0.5 RCT’s were completed. Conclusion: From the analysis in Gauteng, it seems that other than adding additional pairs of hands to do the job, no significant changes were brought about in the means and ways we render services in the public sector by the introduction of compulsory community service for dentists.
