One of the objectives of organized school dental service is to create ability and willingness among young adults to maintain a preventive oral health care, e.g. regular dental visits. In order to investigate the decisions about and plans for dental care among school dental service leavers a questionnaire was sent to a probability sample of 258 young adults who had finished ninth grade eight months earlier. The participation rate of the Youth Dental Program (YDP) was approximately 90%. The drop-outs were made up of at least two rather distinct groups. One of them was dominated by subjects with a high social background and they chose to a great extent care in private practice. The other group was dominated by young men with a low social background. They finished school early and expressed pessimistic expectations to the life-time of their own teeth.
有组织的学校牙科服务的目标之一是培养年轻人保持预防性口腔保健的能力和意愿，例如定期看牙医。为了调查学校牙科服务辍学者的牙科护理决策和计划，向258名八个月前完成九年级学业的年轻人的概率样本发送了一份问卷。青少年牙科项目（YDP）的参与率约为90%。辍学者至少由两个相当不同的群体组成。其中一个群体以社会背景较高的受试者为主，他们在很大程度上选择私人执业的护理。另一组以社会背景较低的年轻男性为主。他们早早辍学，并对自己牙齿的寿命表示悲观预期。
