title: Good teeth without dentists.
abstract: A pilot programme of preventive dental care is reported from Zimbabwe. The target groups were schoolchildren, who were approached through the school health system, and preschool children who were reached via community-based health workers. Educational materials and methods were worked out in close collaboration with local staff. It was considered essential to anchor the programme in established administrative structures.
