3. SMALL EXPEDITIONARY FORCE

Only those recruits who are classified as ‘F’ or who can be made dentally fit within Three Working Hours will be accepted.

N.B. (1) Where fillings etc., are necessary, the operations should be capable of being completed within twenty-four hours of his acceptance by the Board if the exigencies of the service demand.

(2) Prosthetic work will be confined to repairs, relining or remodelling, and in each case, utility is to be the only consideration. The patient's presence may only be required for a portion of the three hours, but the laboratory work must be completed during the next twelve hours, with a possible limit of twenty-four hours.
