Razvojne anomalije zuba predstavljaju kompleksna stanja koja mogu zahvatiti broj, oblik, položaj i strukturu zuba, te često zahtevaju sveobuhvatan
pristup u dijagnostici i terapiji. Zbog složenosti ovih poremećaja, uspešno zbrinjavanje obično prevazilazi okvire jedne stomatološke specijalnosti.
Cilj ovog rada je da, kroz prikaz kliničkih slučajeva, prikaže značaj multidisciplinarnog pristupa u dijagnostici, planiranju i sprovođenju terapije kod
pacijenata sa razvojnim anomalijama zuba. U radu su prikazana tri klinička slučaja koja ilustruju različite tipove anomalija – poremećaje broja, oblika
i strukture. Kod svakog pacijenta sprovedena je detaljna klinička i radiološka dijagnostika, nakon čega je izrađen individualni terapijski plan koji je
uključivao saradnju dečjeg stomatologa, ortodonta i oralnog hirurga. Invazivni postupci, restaurativne terapije i ekstrakcije primenjeni su u
slučajevima težih oblika poremećaja u strukturi i obliku zuba, uz primenu odgovarajuće ortodonske terapije. Poseban akcenat stavljen je na značaj
adekvatne oralne higijene, pravilne ishrane, remineralizacionih postupaka, zalivanja fisura i redovnih kontrola. Tok terapije, redosled intervencija i
postignuti rezultati detaljno su analizirani.
Dobijeni rezultati potvrđuju da multidisciplinarni pristup doprinosi boljoj funkcionalnoj rehabilitaciji, estetskom zadovoljenju pacijenata i dugoročnoj
stabilnosti terapije. Prikazani slučajevi naglašavaju važnost pravovremene dijagnoze, preciznog planiranja i timske saradnje u lečenju kompleksnih
dentalnih anomalija.

Introduction: Health education, as one of the important aspects of preventive dentistry, plays an important role in promoting good oral health. The aim of this study was to determine and define the influence of parents' knowledge about the effects of oral hygiene, proper nutrition and fluoride prophylaxis on oral heath in early childhood. Methods: The survey was conducted in four pedagogical-education institution on Kosovo and Metohia, Serbia. The study included 403 parents of children, aged between 3-6 years. Parents were asked to fill a questionnaire about oral hygiene, nutrition and fluoride prophylaxis. Results: Parents from urban (64.8%) and parents from rural (63.5%) areas were informed that the teeth should be brushed at least twice a day. Only 3.4% parents from urban and 3% parents from rural were informed how often should a child toothbrush be changed. Awareness about nutrition showed that parents from rural areas were better informed than parents from urban areas. Parents from urban (31.4%) and rural (31.7%) areas belived that tooth decay may be caused by prolonged breastfeeding. Awareness about fluoride prophylaxis in preventive and pediatric dentistry was poor. Conclusion: The study showed that parents knowledge about the impact of oral hygiene, nutrition and fluoride on the oral health in early childhood is not good.

Herpetic stomatitis as well as many other infections of the orofacial region in everyday practice represent an important percentage of pathology. These diseases can be a major problem for therapists in terms of early diagnosis and, consequently, in determining the correct treatment. The disease belongs to a group of droplet infection, caused by the herpes simplex virus, with characteristic changes in the skin and mucous membrane in children and adults. A relatively small percentage, 10-15% of primary infections are manifested with clinically distinct symptoms. At the oral mucosa occurs triad of symptoms: generalized catarrhal gingivitis, coated tongue and erosions dispersed all over oral epithelium of the oral cavity.

Introduction: Dental caries is the most common oral disease in all age groups. Being more and more frequent in preschool and school-age children, it has become one of the most important problems in oral pathology. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of dental caries in schoolchildren aged 12 and 15 years in the northern part of Kosovo and Metohija, as well as to inform them about the importance of oral health. Materials and Methods: The study included 626 schoolchildren of both sexes from five schools from the municipalities of Kosovska Mitrovica, Zvečan and Leposavić. Klein-Palmer DMFT system (D-Decayed, M-Missing, F-filled) was used to estimate the prevalence of dental caries the following indices were also used: Person Caries Index, Teeth Caries Index, Average Caries Index and DMFT structure. All the selected children were examined using standard dental diagnostic agents. Tooth surfaces were examined dry under artificial lighting. Results: The average value of DMFT index for children aged 12 and 15 years was 4.2. On average, 92.3% of the examined children had caries. The mean value of caries index was 15.11%.Conclusion: After these new epidemiological studies, it can be concluded that the state of children's oral health, considering the high levels of untreated caries and all other features of DMFT index, is not satisfactory. This situation points to the necessity of applying modern preventive and prophylactic measures to preserve and improve the population oral health.

Frequent occurrence of dental caries and periodontal diseases, especially gingivitis, in school-aged children, is becoming one of the most important problems in oral pathology, although they all can be brought under control through health education and implementation of preventive and prophylactic measures. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of dental caries and gingivitis in children, aged 12 years, attending primary schools in Kosovska Mitrovica, as an urban area, and schools in Gračanica and Laplje Selo, as rural areas. The study included 227 schoolchildren, aged 12 years, divided into two groups. One group, 129 of them, consisted of children from primary schools in Kosovska Mitrovica, as urban areas. The other group, 98 of them, consisted of children from primary schools in Gračanica and Laplje Selo, as rural areas. Klein-Palmer DMFT system (D-Decayed, M-Missing, F-filled) was used to estimate the prevalence of dental caries, while Silness-Löe plaque index, Löe-Silness gingival index and Muhlemann sulcus bleeding index were used to estimate the level of oral hygiene, gingival status and severity of gingival inflammation. The average number of permanent teeth with caries per respondent (DMFT) was 4.6 in total, for all children. The average value of DMFT in children from urban areas was 3.8, and 5.3 in children from rural areas. SiC Index was 7.9. The average value of the plaque index (PI) was 1.53±0.61, of the gingival index (GI)1.05±0.58 and of the bleeding index (BI) 0.64±0.59. The established state of oral health and periodontium in examined children points to the necessity of applying modern preventive and prophylactic measures in order to improve the oral health and increase the motivation for the overall health care.
