Inequity in access to oral health service of primary students: A case study of a dental fund in a central region province

Moreover, the procedure indicator findings showed that the goal of having participation from the District Health Coordinating Committee (DHCC) was not achieved in developing oral health promotion and prevention for grade 1 students because the DHCC deferred to the knowledge and expertise of the dentists who still operated based on bio-medicine. As a result, the present work plan and methods for organizing activities with the student group are still emphasizing a full mouth examination and complete treatment according to the quantitative indicator only, without any new approaches or operational concepts.
