Sažetak
The epidemiological study was conducted to assess oral health of patients referred to
the Department of Oral Surgery at Clinical Hospital Center in Rijeka. The distribution
of particular diagnoses and surgical interventions in relation to frequency of occurrence
was tested. The total of 1,268 patients aged from 5 to 89 years, both sexes, were included
in the study. All the patients were treated under local anesthesia. The most common reason
for referral to oral surgery was chronic periapical lesion (33.3%), followed by retained
root (26.7%), impacted tooth (12.7%), and radicular cyst (8.3%). The majority of
patients, residents of Rijeka city area, were treated for the diagnosis of adult periodontitis,
while the radicular cysts and hypertrophy of the upper frenulum were more frequent
referral diagnoses in patients coming from the areas around Rijeka. Extractions
were performed more frequently in patients from Rijeka, while cystectomies with apicectomies
and frenulectomies in other patients.
