Abstract: | Background Evidence from Western countries indicates that there are fundamental discrepancies between self-perceived illness of immigrants
and the provision of health care, according to the Western bio-medical health service model. These need to be understood in
the planning and implementation stages of public health care programs for new immigrants. The objectives of the present study
were to investigate self-perceived versus clinically diagnosed dental and periodontal health status among immigrants from
Ethiopia. |
