At the University of Connecticut, 115 disadvantaged students received dental examinations. There was a significant need for emergency dental care. The estimated cost of dental services for this group averaged $318.62 per student. The dental needs of disadvantaged and minority as well as all university students, should be addressed and services should be provided at least for needs of acute nature.
