Sažetak
Studying the histories of 2677 patients obtained fro m the archives of the Institute for Stomatologic Prosthetics of the FacuIty of Stomatology, University of Zagreb , the authors investigated structural changes in patients who had total prostheses. These were divided according to age and sex into three periods ranging from 1961 to 1969. Reviewing the data obtained, the authors reached the conclusion that from the firt to the third investigated period a growing tendency showed of the appearance o f total prostheses in subjects of the younger age groups. Simultaneously on the basis of the distribution s of incidence the conclusion was drawn that there existed a tendency of an increase in the numbers o f patients according to age groups in the later periods. The authors emphasize the fact that it is impossible to prove the effect of truly harmful factors on the change in the structure o f patients on such an example and therefore consider it necessary to carry out an investigation of an epidemiologic character on a representative sample.
