Abstract
Access to dental care is becoming an increasing problem
in the United States, as in other parts of the world. The
dental program at the University of Rochester clinic in
Honduras, as well as other projects, have demonstrated
that the ability to deliver quality care can be enhanced by
expanded use of medical personnel, other than dentists,
and even by civic action. While there is no substitute for
the trained dentist, perhaps techniques learned in these
projects can alleviate some of the predicaments until such
a dentist is accessible.
