The paper deals with assessment of the cariosity of teeth, hygiene of the oral cavity, needs and quality of treatment in 126 dental medical students, Palacký University, Olomouc in the school year 1987/88. From the assembled results it may be concluded that the health consciousness of care of oral health even in groups of interested persons, as we may anticipate in dental the students is not reflected in their attitude to their own health. This is the more problematical as it may make us think that health education is not a sufficient impulse for medical students.
