Abstract
The epidemiologic data interpreted showed a high degree of prevalence of dental caries after DMF while other indicators collected and interpreted simultaneously, furnished proof of the insufficient sanation of teeth in the nick of time of the schoolchildren living in the area of the Zagreb subregion. This applies particularly to schools which are subject to serial examination of their schoolchildren in the wider municipal territory. The Municipal Institute for Health Protection at Zagreb therefore undertook the sanation of teeth in schoolchildren living in the wider territory of Zagreb through the Dental Polyclinic »Milan Milanović« which established dental outpatients consultation offices within the very schools. This step was favourably reflected in the number of carried out sanation procedures and in other factors of which the most important was the emotional factor in connection with the approach of the dentist treating a schoolchild. The second important factor was a matter of economy as proved by the authors in their paper.
