This book established a conceptual model for displaying and analyzing decision-making processes in dental prevention care such as sealant placement from provider preference to provider recommendation and from parents’ awareness to perceived need for prevention delivery. The conclusions of this book will assist governmental agencies insurance companies and communities in policy decision-making to design and implement dental public health interventions by targeting high risk populations. They will help the decision-makers determine how scarce resources would be best allocated to prevent dental diseases and reduce the disparities in oral health.
