title: Characteristics of dental students in Ontario and Northern Ireland.
abstract: The aim of the study was to investigate whether differences existed between the behaviour and attitudes of dental students in London, Ontario, and Belfast, Northern Ireland. While there was no difference in the frequency of brushing in the two groups, a higher proportion of the Canadian students practised interdental cleaning. One surprising result was the difference between the two groups regarding the methods of caries prevention which they would recommend for children.
