Introduction, aim: Within regular preventive dental check ups, dentists are obligated to asses in oral cavity not only hard and soft tissues, but also the intercuspidation and relation of dental arches. Reality, that some anomalies are indicated for early (interceptive) treatment, underlines importance of orthodontic assessment in children with mixed and young permanent dentition. The aim of this paper was to find out with noninvasive clinical assessement the occurence of children aged 6-13.9 years with orthodontic anomalies at elementary schools in Olomouc region, that so far were not in orthodontic dispensarization or treatment. Material and methods:...

Aim: Early childhood caries (ECC) is defined as the presence of one or more carious lesions (noncavitated or cavitated) or filled tooth surfaces in any primary tooth or missing teeth (due to caries) in children below six years of age. Cariogenic oral bacteria Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus spp. and Actinomyces spp. were found to be involved in the caries development. The early phase of the caries development is associated with the presence of visible plaque on the teeth surface and S. mutans occurrence in the oral cavity, with the most critical period for S. mutans colonization from 19-31 months of age. The aim...

Aim: The study was focused on the evaluation of etiological factors of mandibular fractures, their frequency, relationship to the season and the relationship with head and neck skeletal injuries. Methodology: A retrospective study of lower jaw injuries was performed at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Olomouc University Hospital in the period from 01. 01. 2013 to 31. 12. 2017. 432 patients with radiographically verified mandibular fracture were reported.

Introduction and aims: Materials intended for the definitive filling of root canals form an integral part of the equipment of every dentist's office, and may differ in some of their physical, chemical and biological properties, depending on their composition. Where some materials excel in their properties, others have serious shortcomings and, conversely, what individual manufacturers try to overcome by modifying their composition, or bring to market materials based on a different, new basis. However, this further complicates the already complex clarity between the individual types of materials. Clinicians often face the difficult task of choosing...
