title: Use of pediatric dental services in the 1990s: some continuing difficulties.
abstract: Despite continuing need for dental services, the use of dental services has not increased uniformly throughout the population of children. Minority group children, children in families with other than two parents present, children in lower income families and families without insurance, and children with special needs, receive reduced levels of dental services than their counterparts in the general population.
