Research randomly 1132 adults from ≥18 years old who living in North Central Coastal and South Central Coastal areas by deviding period method. The objects were examines dental caries situation and periodontal diseases acording to assement method of WHO. Result: The percentage of adults who had dental caries is high, from 93.2% to 97.8%. The DMFT index increases across the age groups. The situation of dental caries in adults of the North Central Coast is higher than in the South Central Coast. Periodontal diseases: The percentage of adults who had gingivitis and periodontitis is high, from 92.45t-100%. The percentage of adults at age 45 and the older who had periodontal pocket is high, from 30.2% to 35.6%. The percentage of people who had acceptable gingival health is very low, and lower than 10%. Oral health situation of community is not get targets of EEC and of WHO.

The program of school-based oral care has been organised at all 25 primary and secondary schools of Gia Loc district since 1989/1990 to prevent oral diseases including gingivitis. After 8 years, the ratio of children who affected by gingivitis reduced clearly. The rate of school pupils who have acceptable gingival health increased from 8.42% to 94.21%. This result confirms that school-based oral preventive activities are neccesary and suitable. Particulary, in 1997/1998 we reached WHO and EEC countries’s goal as well as Vietnam’s goal for the year of 2010

The program of SCDC has been organised at all 25 primary and secondary schools of Gia Loc district since 1989-1990 to prevent dental caries for children aged 6 -15. The program’s activities include dental health education, conducting children to rinse their mouth by fluoride water 0.2% weekly and clinical preventation. After 8 years, the situatation of dental caries reduced. At age 12, the ratio of dental caries reduced 56.05% and DMFT reduced 79.41%. This result confirms that the contents of SCDC are suitble. Especially the situation of dental health shows that in 1997-1998 we reached WHO global goals and Vietnam goals for the year 2010.

The project was carried out to assess the situation of oral hygiene of the school children who have not been conducted oral hygiene as well as to access the effectiveness of dental education in the improvement of oral hygiene. The results of this study showed that: 1. The situation of oral hygiene of the school children is very bad. This is alarming situation of preventive hygiene. So we have to strengthen oral hygiene education for children community across the country. 2. The content of oral hygiene education of the school dental program for children (6-15 years old) has significant effectiveness on the improvement of oral hygiene. 3. The oral hygiene situation tightly related to orodental diseases such as dental caries, periodontal disease. So we have to conduct oral hygiene education for community in order to prevent dental caries and periodontal disease

The school-based dental preventive program has been developed strongly in many areas of the whole country. Especially, the program has been covered at level of province such as Ninh B×nh and Nam §Þnh. Its preventive results were very high. Dental caries were reduced and periodontal status is improved. Through the study of fluoride concentration in the natural water, we determine that the use of fluoride mouthwash for children at school is necessary to reduce dental caries.

10 samples of Colgate dentifrice marketed in Vietnam were analysed in this study. The total fluoride content of each sample was determined by measuring the voltage of level-known standard solutions and that of sample test solutions, using Fluoride Selective Electrodes. The results revealed that total fluoride content of these samples is high, stable and not lower than level of 1,000 - 1,200 ppm in samples.

The project was carried out to determine total fluoride on Colgate dentifrices. 10 samples of Colgate Dentifrices markerted in Vietnam were analysed. The total fluoride content was determined by measurement of solution voltage with fluoride Ionic Selective Electrode. The results of research showed that the total fluoride content on the above mentioned detifrices is high, stable and is not lower than level of 1,000-1,200 ppm.
