Abstract

Ovaj rad sadrži pregled nekih istraživanja karijesa i malokluziija kroz povijest te ih uspoređuje s novijim podacima koje su prikupile svjetske organizacije. Pokazalo se da ove oralne bolesti bilježe porast posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća, što se dovodi u vezu s promjenom ljudske prehrane koja sadrži veći unos ugljikohidrata i šećera, kao i s mnogim društvenim navikama. Rad se osvrnuo i na temporomandibularne poremećaje, koji mogu biti u vezi s malokluzijama. Iako se učestalost ovih bolesti smanjuje, na globalnoj razini ona je i dalje velika i stvara velik problem za zdravstveni sustav. Da bi se učestalost smanjila, potrebno je osigurati obrazovanje o pravilnoj oralnoj higijeni, bolju zdravstvenu skrb, mijenjati društvene navike i podignuti osviještenost o ovim bolestima koje loše utječu na kvalitetu čovjekova života.

Abstract (english)

This thesis contains an overview of some research papers od dental caries and malocclusion throughout history and compares them with more recent data collected by international organizations. It has been shown that these oral diseases have been on the rise in the last few decades, which is linked to a change in the human diet that contains more carbohydrates and sugar, as well as to many social habits. The paper also focused on temporomandibular disorders, which may be related to malocclusions. Although the frequency of these diseases is decreasing, at the global level it is still high and creates a big problem for the health system. In order to reduce the frequency, it is necessary to provide education on proper oral hygiene, better health care, change social habits and raise awareness about these diseases that have a bad effect on the quality of a person's life.
