Abstract
The dental health status and treatment needs of 302 secondary school students (182 boys, 120 girls; age range 11-16 yr) were surveyed. Restorative, exodontic, periodontic, prosthetic and orthodontic treatment needs were assessed at the time of examination. The dental health status was poor and the amount of treatment needed was high. Treatment needs increased with age and were dominated by restorative work. The average student required 19.8 relative value units of work, taking 2 3/4 h.Keywords
