title: [Occurrence and etiology of tooth caries in wearers of fixed dentures during the war].
abstract: Concerning the destruction, war and caries are complemental. They don't have the same final causes, but on the microplan, both of them have destruction as a consequence. War causes complete destruction of organism, and the crude killing of human being. The people who do not get killed are faced to all negative etiological factors which disturb general health of organism. We have been following the parameter for the need of intervention in the field of dental protetic, frequent erosive changes of dental tissues sediments of caries and etiological factors which facilitate commencement and development lesions of caries on the tooth-carier of fixed protectical work. During this work we have been analyzing the patients who have been treated at The Clinic for Dental Health during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Etiological factors, that caused commencement and development lesions of caries on the tooth-carier of fixed protetical work, are identical to those that are described in accessible literature, but also there have been some specific features which have been seen during the war conditions, as follows: *inadequate nutriment-patients were usually eating adhesive food, noodis, *impossibility of maintaining and providing the extents of oral hygiene, difficult or impossible access to a hygiene knot, *the lack of equipment for maintaining the oral hygiene, toothpaste, toothbrush, water, *Fight for the bare life, war is time for survival and it cites patient to seiftuiage in care for their own health, patient fights for existence and treats the acute states. In this relation brushing the teeth comes to the last place, *war conditions unable patients in approaching to therapeuts, and they can not use stomatological equipment due to the lack of electric power and water. *time as a factor--war circumstances delayed the intervention in the mouth of patient at the right time. Percent of sediments of caries inclinical study on the tooth-carier fixed protetical work is at the high level of 65%. This percentage could be justified by a fact that all patients came with already developed lesions of caries. War is enemy of human health in every segment, so increasing number of lesions of caries is one of the logical consequences. War in BiH has presented that stomatological science and practice during war are just curative. Esthetic stomatology and right-time interventions, preventions don't exist. There is only necessary stomatology.
