LÆKNABLAÐIÐ 409 SUMMARY The aim of this investigation was to elucidate certain patterns of oral behavior, such as visits to dentists and peoples opinion of their own teeth and periodontal tissues. A questionnaire was used to gather the information among 516 52-79 years old men, out of a random sample attending for routine examination at The Research Institution of The Icelandic Heart Association during the winter 1985-1986. No statistical connection was found between age when a dentist had first been visited and edentulousness later in life. Regular dental visits during the school-years however seemed to prevent edentulousness later in life to some extent. More of the dentate men had visited a dentist recently than the edentulous ones. Fear of the dental treatment did not seem to prevent those men from visiting a dentist to any mentionable extent. Most of the men were of the opinion that a convenient appointment could easily be made, and the majority of those still working went to the dentist during their working hours. Most of the dentate men were of the belief that their periodontal tissues were in good shape although a third admitted that something might be found wrong about their teeth. HEIMILDIR 1. Grabowsky M.
