Junior high school children (1, 218) were examined to assess the prevalence of gingivitis. The mouth was divided into 12 segments. The number and the location of the segment which had inflammation was scored for each child. Deposition of plaque and calculus were also scored as negative or positive. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The average number of segments which had inflammation was 5.9 per child and 96.9% of the children had gingival inflammation in at least one of the segments. 2. The segment which showed the highest prevalence of inflammation was at the labial side of the lower anterior teeth followed by the labial side of the upper anterior teeth. 3. The children assessed as plaque-free were only 3.3% and 46% of the children showed calculus deposition. It was concluded that the promotion of periodontal health in junior high school is very important.
