Sažetak
The focus of this paper is caries in military recruits. Our sample consisted of 190 recruits of the Croatian army at the ages of 19 to 27. This study of dental caries is carried out in accordance with the DMFT index with regard to residential community. Only 2.6% subjects indicated DMFT=0. The total DMFT value for all subjects is 7.76. A statistically significant difference for the DT and FT values was found between living areas. There were 54.76% of restored teeth in all subjects on average. The subjects from urban areas had a higher number of restored teeth. The majority of teeth comprised by the DMFT values were restored, and smaller excent decayed teeth. In this study we identified the incidence of dental caries in military recruits according different social and economic status and the need for dental treatment.
