title: Oral health care in Australia.
abstract: The study data on oral health status for this age group was consistent with previous recent studies. The sociological data added considerably to the knowledge of the charactistics of this group in the area sampled in New South Wales, Australia. The system of delivery of oral health services mainly through private practice appears to be providing comprehensive treatment to a segment of the student population fairly well defined by sociological variables reported in the analysis. However, only limited services appear to be reaching sizeable remainder.
