Abstract

The contrasting cycles of changing caries prevalence in developing and industrialized countries are described, as they relate to differing needs in technology. Using this contrast as a background, the selective needs for technology in measurement, adequate quality of treatment and materials, appropriate personnel, and simplicity and mobility in equipment are discussed.
