The article describes the current situation with regard to oral health in Germany on the basis of selected surveys. The analysis is confined to the two main oral diseases, i.e., dental caries and periodontitis. At the same, data on the rates of restorative procedures are presented and trends in the development of prevalences are addressed. Whereas in Germany caries (crown caries) is clearly declining as a burden of disease, the situation with respect to the prevalence of periodontitis is unclear; however, the undertreatment of people having periodontitis in Germany must be assumed. Tooth loss among the adult population in Germany has decreased considerably.
本文基于选定的调查描述了德国口腔健康的现状。分析仅限于两种主要的口腔疾病，即龋齿和牙周炎。同时，还给出了修复治疗程序的发生率数据，并探讨了患病率的发展趋势。在德国，龋齿（冠龋）作为一种疾病负担正在明显下降，而牙周炎的患病率情况尚不明朗；不过，可以认为德国牙周炎患者的治疗不足。德国成年人口中的牙齿缺失情况已大幅减少。
