title: Primary oral health care for developing countries.
abstract: A model for the delivery of oral health care in rural areas of developing countries has been derived from studies in Papua New Guinea and Thailand. It gives special attention to self-help and self-reliance at village level; it provides for training of each category of personnel, with a clearly defined career structure, and can be adapted to respond to diverse epidemiological, demographic, social and economic circumstances.
