The objective of this research was to analyze city school meals in Londrina and relate them to the results of studies of the influence of diet on the etiopathogeny of dental caries. Through a questionnaire administered by the Fundação de Desenvolvimento do Paraná/Programa Municipal de Alimentação Escolar (Foundation for the Development of Paraná, Municipal School Meal Program), thirty-three public school menus were examined. It was evidenced that in the majority of these schools the meals contain great amounts of cario genie components, and no adequate program exists to avoid the consequences. This research suggests the implementation of preventive dentistry.
