The results of initial examination of 1,021 patients (460 men and 561 women), admitted for the periodontal surgical treatment during the time period of 5 years at the periodontal department of the 1st Clinic of Stomatology in Olomouc, were retrospectively evaluated from the records in out-patients' clinical notes. The results are essentially in accordance with the generally acknowledged conclusions of epidemiological studies with the only difference consisting in the finding that in this specific group of patients the oral hygiene did not deteriorate with increasing age. From the point of view of the necessity of periodontal surgical treatment the men and women in the age groups between 30 and 39 years have been identified as individuals at the highest risk.
