Overview
Oral health survey of 18-yr-olds was conducted in 2000 in the sample of 357recruits and in the group of 318 women. Indicators of oral health were compared with the resultsof previous surveys in 1987 and 1995 and with the WHO goals for the year 2000. The resultsrevealed the significant decline of the caries experience, of the mean count of D and F teethand the improvement of periodontal status in women when compared with 1987. With regardsto the WHO goals for the year 2000 our 18-yr-old men highly exceeded the parameter of dentalstatus (96,4 % of individuals without tooth extractions due to caries) and approached to fillingthe parameter of periodontal health (70,9 % subjects with at least three sextants CPI=0). 99,7 %of 18-yr-old women were without extraction due to caries and 87,1 % of them had CPI=0 atleast in three sextants.
