title: [Influence of educational level and preventive measures on theperiodontal condition of adolescents].
abstract: From their answers to a questionnaire 1063 Swiss army recruits were included in one of 6 occupational groups. The clinical periodontal findings from the group were recorded and compared. The recruits with higher educational levels had a better periodontal status than those with less schooling. Regardless, the recruits from areas with well-organized prophylaxis programs had less gingivitis and smaller DMFT scores than the others.
