Dental caries and periodontal disease rates, and dental health delivery services in Iran were explored. Some information was collected personally by e-mail or telephone contact with related people or organization. Results: About 15000 dentists (1/5000 population) are delivering oral health in private and community dental services. More than fifty percent of children age 12- year-old has some caries experience.
