Sažetak
Throughout history, Osijek and Slavonia were parts of numerous empires and
states. In this paper, the authors depict dental health care of the inhabitants of Osijek and Slavonia
throughout their history, since the ancient prehistoric times when dental medicine and medicine in
general were ‘in the hands’ of gods and medicine men, throughout the period of the Roman Empire
and Middle Ages, as well as the Turkish sovereignty, all the way to the modern era when Osijek and
Slavonia became part of the Austrian Empire and many novelties were introduced in the society,
among other things, and for those times, modern procedures of medicine and dental protection. Those
were the true beginnings of medicine and dental protection. The authors illustrate the work of various
‘dentists’ who worked in Osijek, from military and town surgeons, barbers, and especially the work of
doctors that needed to have formal school and specialist education after the reforms implemented in
the 19th century. Thanks to the reforms of the Austrian, and later the Austrian-Hungarian authorities,
the practice and work of people who were allowed to perform dental procedures started being regulated,
prices were established, and punishments introduced for those who performed dental procedures
without having the proper qualifications.
