Dr. Vágó, P., dr. Deák, J., dr. Bruncsics, Z., dr. Szabó, J.: Regional epidemiologic examination of dental health state

This study examined the oral status of the adult population in South-West Hungary using panoramic radiographs. The results indicate that in this population group 5,2% of the teeth were carious and 38,6% were missing, 3,87% were endodontically treated. Around the apices of the endodontically treated teeth in this survey in 40%, radiographic signs of periapical pathology were observed. Only 18% of the missing teeth had fixed prosthodontic restauration. The results are indicating a substantial future need for dental treatment.

Key words: epidemiology, panoramic radiograph, periapical pathology
