title: [A handbook project designed to sensitize the illiterate population to orodental preventive care].
abstract: In many poor countries, the number of "illiterate people" is often very high. In order to sensibilize these populations to dental caring, the authors propose a series of frames based on the mental association with their traditional lifestyles. With only ten series of drawings they deal with: morphology, hygiene, cares, smile, functional and aesthetic importance of mouths and teeth. To conclude, the authors insist on the fact that this way of sensibilisation is all the more efficient that it is beyond dialects, ethnic groups and boundaries.
