Annotation
An extramural program, which combines dental education of senior students with the delivery of dental services to prison inmates, is described.
Abstract
This program provides students with a learning experience that is unavailable on campus, increases the resources of dental departments in four state prisons at little or no cost to the department of corrections, and offers correctional dentists opportunities for professional collaboration with faculty and continuing medical education at a state university.
