Oral health condition in children at the age of 12 in Montenegro does not satisfy. Thus the importance of the modern preventive measures and programmes should be emphasized and applied through the system of primary oral protection and intensively promote oral health.

Introduction/Objective The quality of life of elderly individuals has an active function in oral health; it is of great importance to learn that elders over the age of 65 years demonstrate an increase in seeking dental services. Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) is especially suitable for use in the elderly. The aim of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of OHIP-14 in the Montenegrin population aged 65 and over and to determine the influence of oral health on the quality of their life. Methods The research was conducted from September to December 2016 in the central region of Montenegro, at the Medical University in Podgorica and in the nursing homes of the elderly. The study covered 170 individuals, both sexes, with an average age of 72.32 ± 6.85. The research instrument is OHIP-14 index. Standard statistical tests were used. The statistical significance level is 0.05. Results The OHIP-14is linguistically and culturally adapted for the Montenegrin population. The value of the Cronbach Alpha Index is 0.892. The relationship between correlations for individual issues and total correlations ranges from 0.21 to 0.69.

Background/Aim. The number of children with diabetes is constantly increasing. The aim of this study was to evaluate oral health in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus compared to healthy children. Methods. The study included 177 patients aged 10-15 years, divided into two groups. Group T1DM, made up of children with type I diabetes mellitus. Control group was healthy children. The dental health was assessed using the DMFT index. The Plaque Index (PI) according to Silness-Löe and the Calculus Index (CI) by Green were used to determine oral hygiene. Salivary status involved determining the amount of secreted stimulated saliva and buffer capacity of the same patient. Results. In terms of average values of DMFT index of permanent teeth, there were no statistically significant differences in study groups. A significant difference in PI value in group T1DM (1.29 ± 0.56) and control group (1.01 ± 0.50 ) was observed (p =0.001). Also, a significant difference in CI value in group T1DM (0.09 ± 0.23) and in control group (0.03 ± 0.14) was observed (p=0.047). The average amount of secreted stimulated saliva for diabetic children was significantly lower (0.99 ± 0.14 ml/min), compared to healthy children (1.06 ± 0.20 ml/min; p=0.020). Conclusion:Children with type 1 diabetes mellitus have no more diseased teeth; however, they have more dental plaque, dental calculus and lower saliva than children in the control group. Also, our results point to the absence of preventive measures and programs in Montenegro. ApstraktUvod/Cilj. Broj djece sa dijabetesom u stalnom je porastu. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio utvrĊivanje stanja oralnog zdravlja kod djece oboljele od dijabetesa mellitusa tip I u odnosu na zdravu djecu. Metode. U studiju je bilo ukljuĉeno 177 pacijenata uzrasta 10-15 godina, podeljenih u dve grupe. Grupu T1DM, ĉinila su deca obolela od dijabetes mellitus-a tip I. Zdrava deca, predstavljala su kontrolnu grupu .Stanje zdravlja zuba ocenjeno je pomoću KEP indeksa. Za utvrĊivanje oralne higijene primenjivan je Plak Indeks (PI) po Silness-4 Löe i Indeks zubnog kamenca po Green-u (CI). Salivarni status je podrazumevao odreĊivanje koliĉine izluĉene stimulisane pljuvaĉke i puferski kapacitet iste pacijenata.Rezultati. U pogledu proseĉnih vrednosti indeksa KEP stalnih zuba nije bilo statistiĉki znaĉajnih razlika izmeĊu obolele i zdrave dece. Uoĉena je znaĉajna razlika u vrednostima PI grupe T1DM (1,29±0,56) i kontrolne grupe (1,01±0,50; p=0,001). TakoĊe je uoĉena znaĉajna razlika u vrednostima CI grupe T1DM (0,09±0,23) i kontrolne grupe (0,03±0,14; p=0,047). Proseĉna koliĉina izluĉene stimulisane pljuvaĉke za obolelu decu bila je znaĉajno niža i iznosila je 0,99±0,14ml/ min, u odnosu na zdravu decu (1,06±0,20 ml/min; p=0,02). Zaključak. Deca obolela od dijabetes mellitus-a tip 1 u CG nemaju više obolelih zuba, ali imaju više dentalnog plaka, zubnog kamenca i manji protok pljuvaĉke u odnosu na decu iz kontrolne grupe. TakoĊe, naši rezultati upućuju na nepostojanje preventivnih mera i programa u Crnoj Gori.

Introduction. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease. Primary involvement is the colon. Changes in the oral cavity may occur as the part of extraintestinal manifestations of the disease. Most common are aphthous ulcers, angular cheilitis and pyostomatitis vegetans which is a specific marker of ulcerative colitis. Case report. This case describes a 53-year-old patient who developed oral lesions as the part of ulcerative colitis. The patient was without symptoms of ulcerative colitis at the time of reporting to the dentist. After a few days, ulcerative colitis activated. Conclusion. Changes that occur in the oral cavity may precede intestinal. It is very important that a dentist recognizes such changes and refers the patient to a gastroenterologist.
