Which dental readiness classes are considered FMR?

• A. Dental Class 3 + 4
• B. Dental Class 1 + 2
• C. Dental Class 2 + 3
• D. Dental Class 1 + 3

Answer: (B)

Dental readiness for aviation duties is categorized into classes that show how well a member can perform missions without dental issues. Fully Mission Ready status means there are no dental problems that could interfere with flight duties. That status is achieved when the dental condition is either absent of treatment needs (Class 1) or involves issues that require treatment but do not impair immediate readiness, with treatment possible in a timely manner (Class 2).

Class 3 indicates conditions that would compromise readiness or require urgent dental care before deployment, and Class 4 reflects more severe or nonviable dental issues that prevent readiness. Because only Class 1 and Class 2 meet the criteria for immediate deployment without significant dental constraints, the pairing of those two classes represents Fully Mission Ready.
