| Abstract | Cilj: Cilj istraživanja bio je procijeniti navike i znanja roditelja o oralnom zdravlju djece te kliničkim pregledom utvrditi klinički status usne šupljine djece predškolske dobi.

Predškolska djeca grada Trogira imaju prosječni kp indeks u vrijednosti 3,72 te SIC indeks 8,08. Trogodišnjaci imaju prosječni kp indeks 3,25, a SIC 8,0. Četverogodišnjaci imaju prosječni kp indeks 1,89, a SIC 5,17. Petogodišnjaci imaju prosječni kp indeks 3,98 dok SIC iznosi 8,27. Prosječni kp indeks šestogodišnjaka iznosi 4,15.

While 89.39% of parents think that caries on dairy teeth needs to be repaired, 66.16% of caries do not consider it contagious. Preschool children in Trogir have an average dmf index of 3.72 and a SIC index of 8.08. Three-year-olds have an average dmf index of 3.25 and a SIC of 8.0. Four-year-olds have an average dmf index of 1.89 and SIC 5.17. Five-year-olds have an average dmf index of 3.98 while the SIC is 8.27. The average dmf index of a six-year-old is 4.15. The SIC is approximate to that of a 5-year-old 8.59. Seven-year-olds have an average dmf index of 2.27. The SIC is slightly lower than that of six-year-olds and stands at 6.0.
