Overview

The authors assessed in the presented study the state of dentition and oralhygiene in the age group of 60–64-year-old subjects and at the same time they tried to obtainan idera of the position at the onset of the third millennium. The examination was made at theSecond Stomatological Clinic in Prague in 1993. The authors investigated groups of 100patients aged 60–64 years and 100 patients aged 48–52 years, i.e. those who will belong intothe group of seniors from 2005 onwards. General information was obtained from the case-history,the general health status was assessed and the patient’s attitude to oral health. Theauthors examined the dentition and assessed the standard of dental treatment. From theinvestigation ensues that in the older generation we mainly rectify what was neglected byphysicians or patient in dental care during their productive age. In the group of citizens whowill reach retirement age in 2005 or later, and who at present have adequate physical andmental powers, and let us assume also adequate economic means, it is important to focusattention on permanent, aimed and effective prevention.
