The dental service of the Zelenodolsk district of the TASSR is represented by a dental polyclinic of the first category in Zelenodolsk, dental departments in two medical units, a department in the Vasilievsky district hospital, six dental and two dental prosthetic offices in rural areas. In total, 15 general dentists or 2.5 units of a doctor per 10 thousand population work in the village. Meanwhile, Zelenodolsk district is endemic for dental caries due to the low content of fluoride in drinking water (0.2-0.3 mg/l). In this regard, there is a need to develop new organizational forms of dental care in rural areas.
