The authors carried out an epidemiological study on dental caries and periodontium state of 247 students from HChTI "A. Zlatarov--Burgas in an age standardized group of 20-24 years. WHO index CPITN was used for the determination of periodontium state. The data from the study reveal that the epidemicity of the dental caries in the group examined reaches to 97.98% with an intensity of 7.89. A total of 26.03% of the carious teeth have not been treated and 40.90% from the students have extracted teeth. Only 19.71% of the females and 4.54% of the males have 3 or more sound sextants according to CPITN. Those data raise the problem of the necessity of complex prophylactic measures among the students.
