Abstrakt		An oral health epidemiological survey using WHO assessment forms was conducted in the Republic of Slovenia (Yugoslavia) in 1987. The study population consisted of 1623 persons aged 6, 12, 15, 18, 35-44 and over 65 yr. The survey included 10 towns in 9 geographical areas of Slovenia. The results showed the prevalence of dental caries in the Slovenian population to be very high (93.6 per cent in 12-yr-olds). The mean decayed. missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) scores were as follows: 5.1 at age 12 yr, 10.2 at 15 yr, 12.9 at 18 yr. 20.5 at 35-44 yr, and 27.Q in persons aged over 65 yr. Assessment of the periodontal status showed calculus to be the predominant disorder in the age groups 18 and 35-44 yr, while shallow pockets prevailed in persons aged over 65 yr.
