Abstrakt

Dental caries and periodontal diseases depend on the interaction of four factors: bacteria, substrate, medium and time. Thanks to proper dental hygiene procedures, some of these can be eliminated. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of oral hygiene procedures on the state of dental and periodontal hard tissues expressed using the DEF index, API and CPITN. In the population examined, we observed statistically significant (or close to being statistically significant) correlations between the parameters of oral cavity health and answers provided by respondents in the questionnaire. The oral hygiene procedures have a relevant impact on the state of dental and periodontal hard tissues, and affect the API, as well as DEF index in women over the age of 45.
