title: Darwin dental survey--1972.
abstract: An examination limited to the recording of dental caries, periodontal disease and oral hygiene of 1592 children aged 3-14 years resident in Darwin, Northern Territory of Australia was made in August, 1972. Ther survey provides base-line data for future assessment of the value of fluoridation. Forty-two per cent of the children had received regular fluoride supplements and dental caries prevalence was lower than expected for a non-fluoridated Australian community.
