Abstract

Globalna se slika čestoće karijesa stalno mijenja. U Europi se u posljednja dva desetljeća povećala množina država u kojima čestoća karijesa opada. Dok je do godine 1990. samo 12 zemalja imalo DMFT za 12-godišnju dob manji od 3,0, njihov je broj između 1991. i 1997. porastao na 25. Sadašnja se čestoća karijesa - uz znatne razlike između Istoka i Zapada - kreće u rasponu od 7,7 DMFT u Letoniji do 0,9 u Nizozemskoj. Osim u Sloveniji (1,7), Istočnoj Njemačkoj (2,6) i Češkoj Republici (2,7), vrijednost DMFT se za sve ostale zemlje Istočne Europe kretala u rasponu od 4,0 do više od 6,0. Ima i znakova porasta čestoće karijesa u Bugarskoj i u Rumunjskoj. U većini tih zemalja nužna je provedba (ili ponovna provedba) promidžbenih i prevencijskih mjera na razini cijele zajednice.<br />The global pattern of caries prevalence is chaning. In Europe the number of countries showing a caries decline has increased over the last two decades. While up until 1990 only 12 countries were known to have a DMFTfor 12-year-olds below 3.0, this number increased to more than 25 from 1991 to 1997. The current caries prevalence is spread over a range, with a significant East-West gradient from 7.7 DMFT in Latvia down to 0.9 in The Netherlands. With the exception of Slovenia (1.7), East Germany (2.6) and the Czech Republic (2.7) all DMFT indices in Eastern European countries were within the range from 4.0 to more than 6.0. There are also signs in Bulgaria and Romania for the beginning of caries increase. In most of these countries implementation (or re-implementation) of oral health promotion and prevention at community level is needed.
