Mobile dental vehicle (MDVs) can be adopted to address the oral healthcare needs of different populations. Therefore, it is of interest to evaluate mobile dental clinic program in providing oral health services to underserved rural communities. A 2 x 2.5 meter box trailer is used by the UN, and it can be carried by a vehicle with all-wheel drive for all types of weather. There was a small box trailer with its weather proof canvas cover extended, changing it into four dental operators and an integrated waiting and teaching space. Clinical examination, scaling, polishing, health education, individual and group teaching in dental hygiene, fluoride applications, fissure sealants, amalgam and composite restorations, extractions, and minor oral surgery were all supplied at no cost to the patients. In a longitudinal study of 3 years in underserved rural areas, a total of 6326 patients were provided different dental treatments. It was found that 93.3% patients did not undergo any dental treatment in the past.
流动牙科车（MDVs）可用于满足不同人群的口腔保健需求。因此，评估流动牙科诊所项目为农村贫困社区提供口腔健康服务的情况很有意义。联合国使用的是一个2×2.5米的箱式拖车，它可以由一辆全轮驱动的车辆运载，适用于各种天气状况。有一个小型箱式拖车，其防雨帆布覆盖物展开后，变成了四个牙科操作位以及一个综合候诊和教学空间。临床检查、洗牙、抛光、健康教育、个人和团体口腔卫生教学、氟化物应用、窝沟封闭、汞合金和复合树脂修复、拔牙以及小型口腔外科手术均免费提供给患者。在一项针对农村贫困地区的为期3年的纵向研究中，总共为6326名患者提供了不同的牙科治疗。结果发现，93.3%的患者过去从未接受过任何牙科治疗。
