Sažetak

The degree of curvature of vestibular and oral tooth surfaces is determined by the
shape sequence from the tooth crown to the epithelial attachment and the alveolar bone,
and directly influences the health of gingiva and the entire tooth support system. The
goal of this research was to determine vestibulo-oral planes of upper and lower permanent
premolars and molars and the thickness of the associated alveolar osseous wall,
and 2,727 measurings were processed using pertinent statistical procedures. The results
have shown the degree of curvature of vestibular and oral tooth surfaces to be higher in
upper teeth than in lower ones (p>0.05); vestibular convexities higher than oral ones
and especially noticeable at the junction from the meandle to the lower third of the
crown. Higher vestibular curvature also entailed thicker osseous wall. All results were
higher than the ones found in literature. We consider our results to be relevant for our
population. The research on the relationship of teeth and the alveolar bone should be
continued by using even more test points and more sophisticated research procedures.
