title: [The oral health of an East German population of a large city. The basic research of the Dresden prevention study on 2500 16- to 35-year-olds].
abstract: Oral health behaviour, oral health state, dental care effectiveness and preventive-curative care needs were subject of a basic examination using 2500 randomly selected patients aged 16-35 years in 6 Dresden state health services in 1988. The spectrum of methods included extended anamnesis, plaque index according to Silness & Löe, DMF/T index and DMF/S index according to WHO criteria without X-ray diagnostics, GPM/T index, CPITN, as well as assessment of gingival recessions, acute and chronic trauma and the prosthetic status. Considering a mean DMF/T of 9.88, DMF/S of 17.93 and GPM/T of 11.9 in patients being 16-19 years and a DMF/T of 15.21, DMF/S of 40.94 and GPM/T of 12.9 in patients being 30-35 years, as well as the insufficient dental care, the majority of patients was in need of preventive care measures. Filling therapy and gingivitis treatment were necessary from the curative point of view. Early chronic tooth surface loss required early preventive-curative intervention. The key for an effective care in the early and middle adult age is a functioning individual concept with preventive emphasis which should include a basic and a risk strategy.
