health facilities comprise of 2 Primary Health Care clinics. Four nurses and two security

guards work in each clinic. In Zonkizizwe, general health problems include TB,

to receive dental treatment in Natalspriut hospital. The prevalence of active caries and

subsequent need for restorative dental care amongst the black population in major

metropolitan areas, like the Johannesburg region, is high. Amongst adults (age groups

20-64 years), caries prevalence and restorative treatment needs range between 61,8 -

80,0 percent and 31,0 - 73,6 per cent, respectively (Du Plessis , Hodges, Pienaar and

Oosthuizen, 1994).
