The aim of this study was to assess prevalence of periodontal diseases within Zagreb adult population in 2000. The sample comprised of 412 examinees of both sexes and all age groups. World Health Organization (WHO) methodology and Community Periodontal Index (CPI), (1997) were used. The data gained was statistically assorted and compared with the data from previously conducted research in 1986. Results showed relatively high prevalence of periodontal diseases. No healthy periodontium was recorded in the 45-and-above age group. Shallow periodontal pockets was registered in 12% of nineteen-year-olds, whereas this symptom was very evident in 45-54 age group (45.7%) and in older than 65 (48.2%). Over 90% of participants had insufficient oral hygiene and 80% required initial periodontal therapy. Approximately 20% needed complex periodontal treatment. Comparison of this data with the previous 1986 research showed improvement of periodontal status in up-to-44 age group due to more healthy persons and more subjects with the initial stages of disease. The possible reason for periodontal health improvement in the last 14 years, evident specially in younger age groups, were the effects of large preventive program measures conducted on schoolchildren in Croatia in 1980-ties and terminated in 1990-ties when the war in Croatia started. Following studies are needed to monitor whether deterioration in oral health will occur regarding to absence of organized preventive programs since 1990-ties.
本研究旨在评估2000年萨格勒布成年人口中牙周疾病的患病率。样本包括412名来自各个年龄组的男女受试者。采用了世界卫生组织（WHO）的方法和社区牙周指数（CPI，1997年）。对获得的数据进行了统计分类，并与1986年之前进行的研究数据进行了比较。结果显示牙周疾病的患病率相对较高。在45岁及以上年龄组中未记录到健康的牙周组织。19岁人群中有12%出现了浅牙周袋，而这种症状在45 - 54岁年龄组（45.7%）和65岁以上年龄组（48.2%）中非常明显。超过90%的参与者口腔卫生不足，80%需要进行初始牙周治疗。约20%的人需要进行复杂的牙周治疗。将这些数据与1986年之前的研究进行比较发现，由于健康人群增多以及疾病初期阶段的受试者增多，44岁及以下年龄组的牙周状况有所改善。过去14年中牙周健康状况改善的可能原因，特别是在年轻年龄组中明显改善的原因，是克罗地亚在20世纪80年代对学童实施并在20世纪90年代克罗地亚战争开始时终止的大规模预防计划措施的影响。由于自20世纪90年代以来缺乏有组织的预防计划，需要进行后续研究以监测口腔健康是否会恶化。
