title: [Prosthetic treatment and needs for this treatment in adults aged 35-44 years in the province of Bialystok].
abstract: In randomly selected 180 subjects of either sex aged 35-44 years from a city, a town and a village in the Province of Białystok (30 subjects in each group) the state of prosthetic management and the needs for prosthetic treatment were analysed. Removable prostheses were worn by 23.3% of the subjects. Over one-fourth of the used partial removable prostheses required exchange. In this group of 180 subjects the need for prosthetic management included 168 removable prostheses (including 3 complete ones), 63 bridges and 277 crowns. These data indicate an urgent need for increasing the range of prosthetic treatment for the population of this province.
