German term

ZÄvD

German to English Medical Medical: Dentistry
Dental patient, medical report.

"Zunaechst Vorstellung in xxx Hospital, dort Versorgung einer Kinnplatzwunde, dannach Vorstellung bei ZÄvD."

I googled, and ZÄvD supposedly stands for "Zahnaerzteverzeichnis Deutschlands". However, that does not fit into the sentence. Do you think it can stand for Deutscher Zahnaerzte Verband instead (usually abbreviated as DZV)?

German Dental Association then. But can patients present there????

Strange...

I need quick help please!

@ Anne and :-) The patient also suffered injury to the teeth/upper jaw. Hence, he saw a "dentist (DDS) on call". That's how I translated it. 'On duty' may be the BE variant.
