Abstrakt		Knowledge of dental and oral health in a certain population group at certain time and place, is a minor but important factor in establishing a trend towards better oral health, and provicles a basis for the implementation of dental care. In the last decade oral heahh in children arrd adolescents in Slovenia has improved considerably. To continue these favourable trends, national aims for good oral health in the next deeade should be set up, as well as establishing a uniforrn preventive derrtal eare program. This would improve the situation, reduce the differences between separate regions and improve dental health education. Special attention should be given to the pronrotion of healthy living. Individuals should be motivated to aclively take care of their health and the health of others, and should be enabled to do so by society.
Izvleček		Vedenje o zdravstvenem stanju zob in ustne sluznice pri določeni populacijski skupini v določenem kraju in času je le droben, vendar nepogrešljiv dejavnik pri izgradnji in uresničevanju težnje po boljšem oralnem zdravju in je osnova za izvajanje zobazdravstvenega varstva. Ugotavljamo, da se je oralno zdravje otrok in mladine v Sloveniji v zadnjem desetletju precej izboljšalo. Da bi v Slovenci zadržali sedanje ugodne trende na področju oralnega zdravja, si moramo najprej postaviti nacionalne cilje za dobro oralno zdravje v naslednjem desetle ju, uveljaviti enoten preventivni zobozdravstveni program in s tem izboljšati staraje in zmanjšati razlike med posameznimi regijami. Izboljšati zdravstveno vzgojo in nameniti posebno skrb vzgoji za zdrav način življenja ter ozavestfti in motivirati posamezrrika, da bo aktivno skrbel za svoje zdravje in zdravje drugih, kar mu mora družba tudi omogočiti.
