Abstract:
The Department of Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine has a commitment to community service. Two programs that provide care to incarcerated adolescents are described. One facility is a large second-chance detention center for males; the other is a small second-chance facility for female juvenile offenders. Not only do these programs offer dental services to these underserved adolescents, they provide a wider range of clinical experiences to predoctoral dental students. The inception of this project, its evolution, and implementation are described. Characteristics of adolescents in general and those of incarcerated adolescents are presented. Modifications in treatment considerations and behavioral characteristics are compared.
