Sažetak

In fixed prosthodontics, analysis of the distribution of basic prosthetic
appliances according to sex, dental arch and particular types of teeth,
is quite understandably needed. Therefore, these relations were analyzed in a sample of young adults. The aim was to find out the trends prevailing in our population, that may have proved useful in choosing appropriate measures in prosthetic therapy. Aimed clinical studies were conducted in 5665 students, 3078 females and 2587 males aged 18— 20 years. The results obtained pointed to a significant difference in the prosthetic appliances between the upper
and lower jaws (89.36% and 10.64%, respectively). Of the total of 1306 appliances in both jaws, 994 (76%) referred to anterior teeth, including first premolars, indicating the prevalence of esthetic requests and indications as compared to the functional ones. A ccording to age, 57% of the total number of prosthetic appliances were made for females and 43% males.
