The institute of facio-odonto stomatology implemented the consultation and the orodental health care for pupils with ages of 6-15 in Nghia Hung commune, Tu Loc district and Hai Hung province. The rate of the teeth decay, the indicators of decayed, missing and filling (DMF) and the gingivitis rate with the code of the community periodontal index treatment need (CPITN) in the first time of examination (have not been received the orodental health care) and the second time of examination (received the orodental health care) were analysed. The results have shown that the gingivitis rate was significantly reduced (from 94.28% to 65.17%), the rate of teeth decay was slightly increased and the rate of pupils received filling was low (11%).
