Most patients had normal blood pressure (typical range is 120/80mm Hg). Several people had severe dental problems including dental caries, gingivitis, oral pre cancerous lesions and conditions like leukoplakia, erythroplakia and oral sub mucous fibrosis.

4 dentists were present for the check-up at the camp. Patients were referred to ITS Dental College Hospital and Research Centre, Knowledge Park III, Greater Noida for further tests and check-up.
