ABSTRACTStatement of the problem: Dental wellness has not reached optimum levels at Fort Braggafter implementation of the Go First Class Program.Purpose: To examine the Go First Class Program’s influence upon dental wellness andreadiness.Materials and Methods: The present study collected data from the Corporate DentalSystem encompassing the time period between October 2014 and October 2015. Patientappointment data were queried for active duty Soldiers assigned to Fort Bragg, NC. Alldata were analyzed by using SPSS version 22.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL USA).Results: It was found that there were no significant differences in dental readiness andwellness after implementation of the program.Conclusion: Additional studies will be needed to clarify the programs contribution to dentalreadiness and wellness.

INTRODUCTIONTwo years ago, the U.S. Army Dental Command (DENCOM) implemented the Go FirstClass (GFC) program in an effort to improve dental wellness and readiness for the U.S.Army. By combining dental exams, cleanings, and routine fillings into a singleappointment, significant time and cost savings could be achieved versus treatment overmultiple appointments (Tempel, 2013).The Army Dental Corps’ primary database to record and store patient information is theCorporate Dental System (CDS). This database was created in 1999 and implementedthroughout DENCOM dental treatment facilities (DTFs) to record dental workloadinformation. It was later expanded to record treatment notes, treatment plans, and otherinformation noted on paper dental records (Eikenburg, 2011). Examining patient datafrom CDS could determine if the GFC Program has improved the dentalwellness/readiness of Soldiers at Fort Bragg, NC.Conducting thorough oral exams is pivotal to the accurate documentation of dentalreadiness (Colthirst, DeNicolo, Will, & Simecek, 2012). The department of defenserequires military personnel to undergo an annual dental examination (HA 98-021, 1998).Upon completion of the examination, the patient dental classification is based ontreatment needs. This classification has set parameters by regulation, but tends to besubjective between different practitioners (Chaffin & Horning, 1998).

DENTAL CLASSIFICATIONDental readiness classification (DRC) 1 patients have a current dental examination, anddo not require dental treatment or reevaluation. DRC 2 patients have a current dentalexamination, but require non-urgent dental treatment or reevaluation for oral conditionswhich are unlikely to result in dental emergencies within 12 months. DRC 3 patientsrequire urgent dental treatment and they’re not considered to be worldwide deployable.DRC 4 Soldiers are those that require a periodic dental examination (Army Regulation40-35, 2004).Dental readiness is the percentage of Soldiers in DRC 1 and DRC 2. The goal of thedepartment of defense is to achieve 95 percent dental readiness for all active dutypersonnel (HA Policy 96-024, 1998). The Army defines dental wellness as the totalamount of Soldiers in DRC 1 with the current goal of achieving 60% wellness for allactive duty personnel (Kalish, 2015).GO FIRST CLASS PROGRAMThe Army Medical Department established the Army Medic
