Abstract
The Ethiopian Gemini Trust in Addis Ababa is a charitable organisation which cares for mothers who have delivered twins or triplets. A dental preventive programme for the disadvantaged children in the Trust was begun and this paper describes the first objective of the programme, the determination of the levels of dental disease. Caries, periodontal disease, malocclusion and enamel opacities were recorded.Entities:
