The paper gives an overview over the oral health situation in the Sudan. Available epidemiologic data indicate that the caries prevalence is low, but increasing. Recent information on periodontal disease is scarce. Dental fluorosis is of growing concern. Oral cancer, especially squamous cell carcinoma, is prevalent. Sudan has approximately 300 dentists to meet the treatment needs of the country's 25 million inhabitants. The great majority of the dentists live in the Khartoum area. The University of Khartoum, School of Dentistry has a capacity of 20 candidates a year. A close cooperation has been established between the dental school in Khartoum and its counterpart at the University of Bergen.
