 Eight years later in 1980, a parallel organization, Dental Volunteers for Israel (DVI)
was created to provide free dental services to poor children in Israeli urban settings.With Holocaust Survivor Trudi Birger at the helm, DVI founders established the free Jerusalem clinic, the sole remaining clinic in Israel where foreign dentists may legally volunteer.ADVI slowly phased out in the late 1990s, in good part because of a feeling from the Ministry of Health that Israel was by then producing enough dentists to fill the country's needs.
