Restorations/Fillings and tartar removal were the most frequently carried out treatments during the study period with 44% and 28% respectively. A quarter of the population were affected by some ondontological pathology (25,6%). 95,3% of the patients were crew of the Amphibious Assault Ship "Galicia". Conclusions: Results confirm that odontological emergencies show a high incidence. The pathology and the need for assistance accumulate in a population group, that would be convenient identify them for diagnosis and treatment in previous deployment phases.
