Brief description The proposed study will compare two workforce models incorporating new clinical teams with new programs (oral health promotion, prevention and timely restorative dental care) in targeted communities in rural Tasmania with the existing model of public sector dental service. The results will provide an evidence-base for both workforce and service delivery policy and planning to improve access and equity in oral health and public dental care for people in rural areas.
