We established the following objectives to be achieved:

  1. Establish health promotion and preventive measures targeting the population under 6 years of age, pregnant women, mothers and those responsible for the care of children.
  2. Establish strategic alliances with governmental and private entities.
  3. Develop research and teaching on dental caries control in children under 6 years of age.
