   Abstract:	The object of this study is the occurrence of caries in Croatian Army recruits with regard to specific qualities of certain social communities. Caries was diagnosed in 190 recruits by means of DMFT index. Subjects were classified according to residence (urban, suburban, rural) and age. Healthy teeth were determined in 5 (2.6%) subjects. The average DMFT value was 7.76 (DT:2.03; MT:1.49; FT:4.25). Statistically significant difference was found between DT (p = 0.009) and FT (p < 0.001) values depending on residence. For rural environment the following values were established DT:2.59 and FT:2.87, and for urban environment DT:1.52 and FT:5.48. Subject values according to age were DMFT (p = 0.008), DT (p < 0.001), MT (p = 0.022) and FT (p < 0.001). The study of caries frequency in recruits is incentive for further systematic studies in smaller socio economic groups and reveals the necessity for improvement in preventive program both during childhood and adolescence.

   MeSH:	ORAL HEALTH MILITARY PERSONNEL
   Abstract:	DMFT index and FST index were used to determine the oral health and oral health care habits of Croatian Army recruits. In 2001 505 19- year-old recruits in the barracks in Koprivnica were clinically examined and asked about their health care habits. Oral status of all teeth (except wisdom teeth) was described by DMFT index (decayed, filled, and missing teeth) and compared withFST index (filled and sound teeth). The number of tooth brushing per day and the reason and number of visits to the dentist each year were determined. The dependence of results in the specific urban and rural community was tested. The level of teeth sanation of the recruits was calculated by the formula FT x 100/DFT. The study showed average DMFT index 7.32 (DT: 3.15, MT: 1.29 and FT: 2.88). The average value of FST index was 23.56 and teeth sanation 47.8 %. Statistically significant difference according to domicile in DT, MT, FT and FST index was determined. Subjects from the rural environment had more teeth affected by caries, and those from urban environment had better teeth sanation (66 %). Subjects who brushed their teeth three or more times per day and who regularly visited the dentist had significantlly higher values of FT and FST index. Health condition of subjects from urban environment, was better (higher values of FT index and slower cumulative distribution and statistical significance of FST index). There was no statistically significant difference in values of DMFT index in relation to subjects from rural environment. High values of DMFT index were determined in Croatian Army recruits. FST index is more adequate than DMFT index for application in a population with a higher level of dental caries. The conducted research contributes to determination of the dental health of Croatian Army recruits as well as to the organisation of optimal preventive programs.

   MeSH:	DENTIN LEAKAGE DENTAL CAVITY PREPARATION
   Abstract:	The aim of this study was to determine if there is any defference between the number of exposed dentinal tubules on the cross section of the coronal dentine. By scanning electron microscopy comparative observation was carried out on 60 specimens of human coronal dentine, divided into 3 groups, in relation to the distance from the enamel-dentine junction and the pulp. Coronal dentine in the region of the central fissure was observed on three levels:1. Cross section of the coronal dentine, 1 mm from the enamel-dentine junction.2. Cross section of the coronal dentine, half-distance between the enamel-dentine junction and the pulp.3. Cross section of the coronal dentine, 1 mm from the roof of the pulp chamber.Openings of the exposed dentinal tubules were counted in a square size 50 x 50 µm of the dentinal surface. The number was divided by 2500 to obtain the number of the openings of the dentinal tubules in the square micrometer (N/µm2). This number was multiplied by 106 to obtain the number of the openings of the dentinal tubules in the square millimeter (N/mm2).The mean number of the openings of the dentinal tubules on the first level was 9600/mm2, on the second level 27100/mm2 and on the third level 58300/mm2. Using the one-way analysis of variance was found ratio MStreatment/MSerror 305.22, that was greater than F 0.99 (2.57) 4.98.The results showed that there is significant statistical difference in the number of exposed dentinal tubules between all three groups of specimens.

   Abstract:	The entire osseous system of transmission of mastication forces may be divided into five smaller units: the lower jaw, the anterior and posterior system of facial mid-portion, the frontal bone with the base of the cerebral cranial segment and the cerebral part of the skull. The development of these regions is simultaneously influenced by genetic determinants and numerous external (environment, climate) and general factors (statics, gravity, upright walking).The objective was to study basic craniometric and skeletotopic characteristics of the facial skeleton and hard palate in osteologic samples kept at the "Drago PeroviE" Department of Anatomy. A total of 64 skulls pertaining to both sexes were included in the study. Following determination of craniometric points, measurements of twelve selected indicators were made by electron gliding meter with 0.01 error probability and by goniometer with 1 percent error probability. The obtained results were compared with the data of similar studies and, together with other harmonic distances, they were mathematically inserted into a harmonic circle with the diameter of 2R. The height of the skull is taken to be 2R, which is one sixth of an adult person's height.The obtained measurements have ensured the basis for further mathematical and structural analyses of the cranial structure.
