Using anonymous inquiry and specifically constructed questionnaire, it was shown, that in stomatological institutions of Ajara and also in the whole west part of the country, there is lack of specialties in the field of stomatology. Working is conducted without license, in offices and also during working process there are many cases of violation of physiological and hygienic as well as of technical rules procedures. All this lead to: 1. violation of the low; 2. violation of patient's rights and 3. increase in the morbidity rate among the dentists. All the mentioned above requires immediate actions from the respective governmental bodies and also creation of stomatological associations.
