There were no statistically significant differences in the values of analyzed parameters between the two groups of women.Person caries index was 100% in both groups, whereas the mean caries index was 100% in both groups, whereas the mean caries index was 19.6 and 16.5 teeth, dental caries index 61.9% and 53.5%, and dental health care index 45.9% and 49.3%. Less than 30% o f the total number of extracted teeth were replaced. Fixed prosthetic appliances were found to prevail in the treatment of missing teeth.
