Sažetak
During fluoridiation and periodical treatment of teeth in a greater part of the children attending the elementary school »I. Gundulić«, the caries and the localization on the teeth were registered. The results of these examinations have been given in 4 tables of which Table I. shows an incidence of dental caries, presented by DMF, of the teeth in the same age groups of school children. Table II. shows the activity of caries in the same children after a year, presented by the number of new lesions. Table III. shows the localization of caries in 1972 and 1973. Table IV. compares the incidence of caries, presented by DMF, in children of three schools, of which the teeth of the children attending the first school (»I. Gundulić«) were treated and the fluoridation was undertaken, fluoridation only was carried out in the second school (»V. Nemet«) while in the third school the children's teeth were neither treated nor was fluoridation undertaken (Zaprešić).
From the data obtained and presented in these tables one may draw a conclusion about the importance of prevention and of combating dental caries not only by fluoridation but also by regular examination and treatment of the teeth.
