title: [The evaluation of and comments on a regional experience of dental prophylaxis. The relations between school, local health screening units and the Veneto region].
abstract: The paper analyses the opinion and proposals which emerged from a series of meetings held between the local health units, school representatives and the Department of Health of the Veneto Regional Government in the context of a regional plan for oral and dental hygiene aimed at kindergarten and primary school children. In addition to the traditional sensitivity of schools with regard to health-related problems, in the future in would be advantageous to involve families directly at the level of pediatric outpatient clinics (in order to create an adequate clinical back-up), thus removing dental care from a strictly educational context.
