Abstract:	Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dental anomalies in preschool and school children of the Canton of Sarajevo and differentiation of the relative share of hereditary and nonhereditary factors in the phenotypic expression of dental anomalies. Subjects and Methods: We analyzed a sample of preschool children and school children of both sexes from six kindergartens and six elementary schools in the Canton of Sarajevo. The study included a total of 740 children, out of which 270 were preschool children (123 boys, 147 girls), and 470 school children (231 boys, 239 girls). The prevalence of dental anomalies was estimated according to frequency of occurance of dental anomalies in the sample. To compare the observed prevalence of certain dental anomalies with European and world populations, the test for proportion differences was used, a variant of the chi-square test with limit of the statistical significance of p <0.05. A significant difference between the subjects according to gender was found using the same test. The statistical analysis was performed using the scientifically verified software MedCalc Ver. 9.2.0.0. Results: There was a tendency toward increase of dental anomalies in children of female sex, based on the observed sample of preschool children. The following percentage distribution of dental anomalies was found: macrodontia (27%), fusion (24%), hypoplastic type of AI (13%), microdontia (13%), hypocalcification type of AI (10%), hypodontia (8%) and gemination (5%). The following percentage representation of various dental anomalies was determined in a sample of school children: hypodontia (42%), macrodontia (27%), microdontia (25%), hypoplastic type of AI (4%) and fusion (2%). Conclusion: In a sample of preschool children, dental anomalies were observed in 14.8% and among school children this percentage was 11.7% of the total number of subjects. The percentage of dental anomalies in children in the Canton of Sarajevo was compared with reference data from the literature and was within the expected range.

Title in English:	Preventive Dentistry in Bosnian Private Dental Practices
Title in Croatian:	Preventivna stomatologija u privatnim ordinacijama u Bosni
Type of Article:	original scientific paper
MeSH:	PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY DENTAL OFFICES DMF INDEX FLUORIDES, TOPICAL
Abstract:	The aim of this research was to investigate the private general dental practitioners’ (GDPs) attitudes, practice and knowledge to primary preventive measures (professional topical fluoridation, oral hygiene instructions, dietary advice and fissure sealing) in treating patients in their practices. Specially designed questionnaire concerning GDP’s attitudes, practice and knowledge of preventive dentistry related questions, was distributed to 57 private dental practices in Canton Sarajevo area, Bosnia and Herzegovina. There were 46 (80.7%) completed and returned questionnaires. All of the respondents claimed to have applied some sort of preventive measures in treating their patients, but only 26% of GDPs said they had used all of the recommended measures. The only preventive measure that all of GDPs reported using was giving oral hygiene advice/instruction; 83% of dentists applied topical fluoride, 40.4 % of which admitted to practicing it rarely. Most GDPs give diet counseling to patients regularly while some 15% of them don’t practice this at all. Seventy two per cent of dentists used fissure sealants. Surveyed dentists were familiar with basic principles of preventive dentistry, but they did not give enough importance to it in overall treatment of patients. The only preventive measure delivered by all general dental practitioners was oral health advice/instructions, usually given verbally in a form of mini-lectures. Professional topical fluoridation was performed generally on children, mostly on routine basis in dental practices. The most often given dietary advice was about decreasing total intake of sugary foods and drinks.
