Comparison of oral health of 12-15 years old adolescents in the district of Jihlava and the district of Havlíčkův Brod
VAŇKÁTOVÁ, Denisa
"Oral health is important for general state of health and also for quality of life". This is how treatise on problems of oral health WHO starts. This sentence was an inspiration for this dissertation called "Comparison of oral health of 12-15 year old adolescents in the region of Jihlava and Havlíčkův Brod". All over the world 60-90 % of school age children have a dental caries. It is a localised patological process of microbiological origin which affects hard tooth tissue. It can lead to the loss of vitality of a tooth marrow and other patological phenomena. It is a very frequent disease in children´s age. One of the indicators of level of oral health is DMF index. It is a sum of permanent teeth with decay, with filling and teeth already extracted due to tooth decay. This thesis traditionally consists of theoretical part, which is a compiled information from specialized literature and practical part, where a method of cross-sectional study was used. The practical part consists of a cross-sectional study. The aim of this part was to map the occurence of tooth caries at 12-15 year old adolescents in chosen regions. It focuses on comparison of differences in oral health between these two regions and between boys and girls in both regions measured by DMF index. Part of this study is also a comparison of oral health of chosen population with recommended parameters of WHO for 12 years old. To fulfil this target, selected dentists were contacted and asked for cooperation. Collection of data was done with help of nurses in the dentists' offices. Data were recorded from health cards of the patients to a prepared record keeping sheet. Anonymity was preserved during collection and processing of data. To validate the data the corectness of inserted data was randomly rechecked. Data were entered into Microsoft Office Excel data sheet and were backed up. Three hypotheses were rised in this thesis: H1: There exists statistically significant difference in teeth defectiveness in chosen regions. The difference at defectiveness of teeth has been demonstrated. Higher level of oral health is in Jihlava region study population. H2: There exists statistically significant difference in teeth defectiveness between girls and boys. This hypothesis was rejected. Alternative hypothesis was accepted: Statistically significant difference in teeth defectiveness between girls and boys does not exist. H3: Oral health of 12-15 year old adolescents in chosen regions has got parameters recommended by WHO. This hypothesis was rejected. Alternative hypothesis was accepted: Oral health of 12-15 year old adolescents in chosen regions does not have parameters recomMended by WHO. Results of this study will be communicated with all participating dentists. Results of the study has also shown a significantly higher defectiveness of teeth in the studied population in comparison with foreign study in a similar age sample of young people from New South Wales. On the other hand, young people from Jihlava and Havlíčkův Brod more often attend dentists and their results are much better at this point. In comparison with national studies from years 1998, 2003 and 2010 our results are more positive. It is possible to see gradual increase of percentage of young people with intact teeth and also slow decrease of average DMF value. In comparison of these two regions Jihlava and Havlíčkův Brod, the results from Jihlava were more positive. Statistically significant difference in defectiveness of teeth between girls and boys was not notified. Average DMF in studied population was 1,7. WHO recommended DMF 3 for the year 2000 and 1,0 for the year 2010. DMF index in our study did not reach the level recommended by WHO for the year 2010.

The importance of oral hygiene on adults with the focus on preventive measures resulting in the reduction of oral cavity diseases frequency.
KÁPLOVÁ, Hana
The Dissertation work presented herein monitors the significance of oral hygiene in adults, while aiming at preventive measures leading to lowering mouth cavity illness occurrences. Within the theoretical part, I focus on the delineation of important terms relating to preventive care for oral cavity, information concerning anatomy, physiology of oral cavity, influence of foods and other problems within the oral cavity, among which there are tooth cavities and diseases of gingiva. In the practical part of the work I aim on the assessment of the level of oral health, trough the help of applied clinical research methodologies and investigative tooth indices such as API, PBI, and CPITN. Furthermore, educational materials are passed on, for the purpose of dissemination of needed information in the area of dental hygiene, teaching correct teeth brushing techniques, and utilization of other between-the-tooth tools. The following graphic presentation reveals the level of dental health. As well, within my work, I have verified that, within a larger proportion of patients an improved oral hygiene ensued; thanks to educational program together with an improved home oral hygiene care. Familiarity, care of oral cavity and dental hygiene are the most important prerequisites for each individual, when attempting to improve dental health.

Dental hygiene of pre-school children in the kindergartens in the district Jindřichův Hradec
ŠTONCNEROVÁ, Helena
The theme of dental hygiene of preschool children is a very current issue nowadays as ever growing importance is being ascribed to it. Regular and thorough removal of microbial dental plaque using appropriate technique plays an irreplaceable role in the prevention of dental caries, along with regular appointments with a dentist. The baccalaureate paper briefly maps the history and status quo of dental medicine, focusing primarily on the state of oral health of preschool children and prevention of dental caries. The theoretical chapter contains a description of teeth, the difference between temporary and permanent dentition, correct tooth cleaning technique, the frequency of tooth cleaning, and dental hygiene aids. The objective of the baccalaureate paper was to find out how and how often the nursery schools in the former district of Jindřichův Hradec attend to the dental hygiene of their pupils. Whether they are acquainted with the correct technique of tooth cleaning, the right grip of the tooth brush, and whether the subject of dental hygiene forms part of specialized lectures in these nursery schools were themes of my interest, too. Another part of my paper contains a draft of an educational program about dental hygiene, based on the results of a questionnaire that was part of my survey, with the aim of devising methodological instructions for preschool teachers as a way of promoting the adoption of proper habits in dental hygiene amongst preschool children.
