title: Primary dental care: time to revise the definition?
abstract: There have been several definitions of primary dental care over the last 20 years and while each was written to reflect the requirements of the time, most provide a conflicting description. This paper examines past definitions of primary dental care in the context of recent developments in UK dentistry and critically describes possible new definitions.
