Epidemiološka obilježja karijesa kod studenata Stomatološkog fakulteta u Zagrebu

Introduction: The purpose of the study was to present the prevalence of caries in the students of the School of Dental Medicine in Zagreb by determining the DMF and DMFS index, and to determine whether there is a difference in the prevalence of caries between visual-tactile and radiological diagnosis of caries. Subjects and Methods: 59 students from the School of Dental Medicine in Zagreb participated in the study ; 9 from the fourth and 50 from the fifth year of dental medicine study. Clinical dental examinations were performed on the dental chair using a dental light, a dental mirror, and a probe. Radiological diagnosis of caries was done by analyzing intraoral bitewing x-ray images of premolars and molars stored in a computer. Results: The average DMF index value was 5.2 (sd = 3.68) (female respondents 5.28 (sd = 3.68), male respondents 4.5 (sd = 3.78)), and DMFS index 7.06 (sd = 5.43) (female respondents 7.24 (sd = 5.43), male respondents 6.1 (sd = 5.34). Clinical examination and radiological analysis revealed 210 caries lesions ; 182 by radiological analysis only, 15 by radiological analysis and clinical examination, 13 caries lesions were detected only by clinical dental examination. Conclusion: High DMF and DMFS index indicates the need for education and implementation of preventive procedures from an early age. A large number of caries revealed by radiological analysis supports the lack of clinical examination in the diagnosis of caries.
