316 students including those of dental, those of human medicine and economic ones were tested in relation to their own health, specially their teeth sets, by lists of queries as well as by clinical screenings. The dental students were those who brought in nearly all dates the best results (and in this the students of the sixth term were better than these of the first or second one). But there were only little differences between the common healthy habits as well as between the teeth set conditions, which the students of human medicine and the economic ones are offering. The high professional motivations of the dental students in keeping healthy their teeth sets include the possibility to derive consequences in point of systematic dental controls.sbd.to all the youth more than up to now. The basis of that consequences will be a more preventive awareness on both, the youth as like as the social working committees. It will be necessary to give the youth more effective directions and motivations for a timely previous care, combined with continuous dental controls.
