Abstract

The activities of dental hygienists in Poland since 1974 are described. About 600 dental hygienists graduated in Poland up to 1977 but, only 32 % of them are still working in the profession. Their main activities are: dental health education, fluoride prophylaxis and assisting in dental clinics. Although the work of about 50 % of the hygienists is poorly organized, they are regarded as useful in dental care by 23 Heads of district dental clinics who employ dental hygienists.
