title: [Preventive dentistry in the Federal Republic of Germany].
abstract: Caries rates are on the decline in the Federal Republic of Germany, too. And, in some cases considerable, increase in the number of children with caries-free teeth and a clear reduction in the average number of carious teeth has been recorded, above all in kindergartens with preventive dentistry programmes. These results have to be consolidated and expanded upon. A good basis for achieving this would be a standard federal programme in which all the institutions involved would cooperate as partners.
