[Apprentices as objects group of the stomatological care in occupational health]

Undoubtedly the age group 15-19 years shows in population surveys a high caries risk. Therefore a systematical dental care programme was carried out. Analysing that programme, the goal for full restoration of dental health and further control of the apprentices was achieved only incompletely. For that reason more research is required. Conclusions are as follows: Annual examination, more care by examining dentist, full restoration of dental health in most of the apprentices and leaving school children.
