Abstract

To examine the epidemiological characteristics and differences in the occurrence of caries among the examined urban and rural populations of different social status.
Performed according to the recommendations of the World Health Organisation (WHO) on a sample of 190 examined subjects, aged 35-44 years.
After completion of a questionnaire, oral examination and medical-statistical analysis of data the following results were obtained: a-1) In the table on dental morbidity of labourers the intensity of caries is expressed by KEP-index and mean KIP. In the male examinees KEP amounts to 14.26, while the total KEP is 585. In females KIP is 15.84 and total KEP 301. Calculated χ2 amount to 19.8019 while tabularly at the level of reliability of 0.05 and with two degrees of freedom, it amounts to 5.99. a-2) For office workers the total KEP for men and women is 397, and average KIP-index 14.50. Calculated χ2 amounts to 6.2254, while tabularly it is the same as a-1. a-3) For agricultural workers total KEP for men and women is 176, and average KIP-index 14.64. Calculated χ2 amounts to 1.0515, while tabularly it is the same as a-1. b) In the table of KIO, KIZ and KIP relations for all examinees KIP 98.80%, KIZ 48.17% and KIP 14.60%. c) In the table showing the relationship between the level of oral hygiene and the number of caries for all examinees, total K 134, KIP 1.82, total OHI-index 221.29 and OHI-index per person 2.22. d) Data on the number of caries and the level of oral hygiene correlate, i.e. when there is a higher number of caries in the mouth, oral hygiene is poorer.
