The epidemiological situation was evaluated in the Nowy Sacz Province in school children and adolescents aged 7, 12 and 14 years in urban and village areas in the school-years 1975-76 to 1985-86. The DMF index, the DMF pattern and the percent proportions of children receiving fluoride prevention of caries were calculated. The number of dentists employed during the period of 10 years was compared. The data are presented in tables. It was found that the proportion of children receiving health care for caries prevention has increased, the mean DMF value in children aged 12 years fell from 4.9 to 4, and favourable changes occurred in the DMF pattern.
