Eligibility for treatment is extended into the post-natal period for nursing mothers, and it is then that most of them re- ceive any prosthetic treatment. The details of dental work carried out show that relief of pain is still a primary reason for mothers receiving treatment, 549 extractions being per- formed compared with 224 fillings to preserve teeth. This high number of extractions has inevitably led to the supply of dentures in many cases, and 46 mothers have been supplied with 63 partial or full dentures. The supply of dentures is only entertained when the health of the individual would be affected by the lack of masticating power due to missing natural teeth, and the cost is borne by the patients according to their means.
