A total of 1024 teeth were apraised and 3227 dental alveoli were examined. The caries intensity of the permanent dentition was proved to be about 38.3% and the caries frequency reached up to 83.8%. These two values were higher in the women. From the different types of teeth, most of dental caries was found on molars, afterwards degressively on premolars, incisors and canines. The inflammation changes traces were found in 12.7% cases, the degenerative productive process manifestations in 8.3%, the value of the enamel hypoplasia was 4.2%, the teeth retention was observed in 33.8% individuals and the hyperodontia in 0.7%.
