title: Periodontal status in a Hutterite population.
abstract: The periodontal status of a population of 117 adult Hutterites living in Saskatchewan, Canada, was assessed. Despite poor oral hygiene levels, and inadequate dental knowledge, the presence of periodontitis was low. The findings are in accordance with data obtained recently from other selected populations.
