[Condition of the teeth and oral hygiene in medical students, stomatological branch, Palacky University Olomouc]. / Stav chrupu a hygieny dutiny ústní u studentu stomatologického smeru LFUP v Olomouci.

The paper deals with assessment of the cariosity of teeth, hygiene of the oral cavity, needs and quality of treatment in 126 dental medical students, Palacký University, Olomouc in the school year 1987/88. From the assembled results it may be concluded that the health consciousness of care of oral health even in groups of interested persons, as we may anticipate in dental the students is not reflected in their attitude to their own health. This is the more problematical as it may make us think that health education is not a sufficient impulse for medical students.

[Condition of the periodontium of medical students, Palacký University, Olomouc, by means of the CPITN Index]. / Stav parodontu studentu LF UP Olomouc, sledování indexu CPITN.

The authors examined 126 medical students of the Stomatological branch, Palacký University, Olomouc--Czech and Slovaks--and 32 foreign students from developing countries. The examination under standard conditions assessed the state of the periodontium and the need of periodontological treatment. Despite the fact that in dental students we must foresee a professional attitude and knowledge of the problem, the need of periodontological cases is increasing with the extent of professional training. 10% of the 5th year dental students require a surgical operation of the periodontium. The final conclusions will be made after evaluation of the whole longitudinal study.
