[Oral health of University of Montreal students in the early 60's].

This article reviews the data which was assimilated relative to the dental health status of first year students during the 1962-63 and 1963-64 school years. The majority of the students were in the 20-29 year old age group. 29.4% of these students were women. In the 20-29 year old age group: 8% were completely edentulous; and, on average, they were missing 6.3 teeth; they had 7.9 carious lesions requiring treatment; and they had 7.8 teeth which had been restored with fillings. Several statistics are similar to those found in the 1968 Simard-Lussier study and the 1970-72 Nutrition Canada study.
