Abstract
In order to find the most appropriate approach to the problems encountered in stomatological activity the representatives of the Stomatological Faculties and representatives of regional Stomatological Polyclinics (Osijek Rijöka, Split and Zagreb) have been invited to: a) discuss the present conditions and problems of stomatological work in SR Croatia from the aspect of the organisation of stomatological services and the most important organisational factors, such as: indicators of the pathology, extent of the service, socio-political system and economic possibilities; b) to establish the possibilities of solving priority problems in this stage of development of stomatological work; c) that once the present state of affaires has been established they suggest concepts for a solution, as a contribution towards better development of stomatological activities. Statements were reviewed on principle and have been based on the indicators previously analysed, thus prompting the authors to revitalize the concept of regional stomatological centres designed at an earlier date as bases for stomatological activities from the organisational aspect, with a viewto professional methodology and doctrines, practical work and training of health workers and medical staff in close professional cooperation with the clinics of the Stomatological Faculty in Zagreb. In order that this concept might be incorporated in the regulations governing the health services, the authors suggest that a republican commission for stomatological activities should be established with the task of designing, carrying out and following the policy and organisation of a system for the teaching and training of stomatologists and the public stomatological services, especially with regard to tasks which are of common interest. This concept has been suggested by the stomatologists for wide discussion and possible supplementation by all interested associations and health organisations in the territory of SR Croatia.
