Sažetak
The authors present the results of the epidemiological study carried out in 312 children from the town of Rijeka with regard to the prevalence (99%) and incidence of caries (KEP index of mixed dentition amounted to 7.91 diseased deciduous and permanent teeth by person). Besides, the assesment of the efficiency of oral education was carried out by the test of oral hygiene. Numerical values of the efficiency coefficients of health education were obtained by using the authors own formula based on the comparison of the first and final results of the oral hygiene index. In conclusion it is pointed out that the success of preventive measures greatly depends on the selection of suitable methods, the existence of selective program, team work and the understanding of the importance of preventive actions. It is particularly stressed that no preventive method is totally efficient but a combination of procedures and methods can produce satisfying results in the prevention of dental and oral diseases in children.
