      index.

AB  - A large study of the dental health of children in the Canadian province of 
      Alberta was undertaken in 1985. A ten per cent sample of 13-year old children 
      (3117) was selected. This study reports on the gingival status of the children 
      using the community periodontal index of treatment needs (CPITN). The findings 
      show that the children have few periodontal problems and that the main treatment 
      needs are oral prophylaxis and improvement in personal oral hygiene. The World 
      Health Organisation guideline for the year 2000 in respect of the long-term goals 
      for periodontal health is met in this Canadian population.
