Abstract
Te paper is presenting analyzes of the condition of marginal periodontium in children age 7 to 14 from Novi Sad (F level 0,2 ppm) and Sombor (F level 1,2 ppm). The gingival health was determined by methodology WHOTRS 621. for every tooth which had reached occlusal piane. As statistical unit side, tooth and person (with 80— 100 % of healthy sides) were used. With a side as a unit the health condition was higher in Sombor for every age. In the 8,10 and 12 year health condition was lower for both locality. Corelation coefficient for both distribution was r = 0.94. In the case of tooth as a unit no difference was found in 8 year of age. Corelation coefficent was lower (r = 0.74). Concerning person there were no difference
in the ages of 8, 10 and 12. The results pointed to the necessity to use person as experimental unite tigether as side. Observed difference between two localites is not enough to exclude other primary preventive measures for periodontal diseases. The higher incidence of the inflamed gingival unites in ages of 8, 10 and 12 diserves more detailed investigation of posible couses.
