Sažetak

Relationships between caries, fillings, prosthetic appliances and gingivitis, and individual maximally pronounced masticatory forces, were studied in a sample consiting of 4,857 subjects (2,204 males and 2,653 famales), mean age 18— 20 years. The oral cavity was divided into three segments, i. e. the right, frontal and left segments, in which not more than two extracted teeth were found, provided they were not situated next to each other. In addition to the usual clinical examination, masticatory forces were bilaterally and frontally measured using our gnathodynamometer in all the subjects. The results have shown that a study of masticatory forces should always include registration of the complete dental status, and of the frontal status in particular, because in this segment neither conservative nor prosthetic corrections can restore the natural intensity of masticatory forces.
