Abstract
The paper presents distribution and frequency of stomatological diseases in the active, employed, population of Međimurje in Croatia. Epidemiological data were collected through systematic check-outs of the workers from 32 organizations. The total number of 4.647 people were examined in usual clinical manner are determined and presented according to their sex and recommendation of FDI from 1974 as well. The data obtained from this epidemiological study show that the frequency and distribution of the oral cavity diseases are
almost equal for both sexes. Hygiene of the oral cavities was evaluated on the basis of hard deposits on teeth and it is significantly worse in the males. A difference in the caries frequency is not significant, but the caries intensity is greater in the females. A proportional analysis within a DMF reveals an insufficient degree of sanation and the quality is very unfavourable considering the great number of extractions.
