All patients were divided into four age groups and examined according to recommendations of World Health Organization on dental examination. Teeth assessment was conducted according to CFE (caries, filled, extracted) index.

The degree of caries expansion among the passenger car attendants is 100 % in all age groups, the number affected teeth with caries depending on the length of service and age ranges from 20.0 to 25.97. Only half of teeth affected by caries is treated. Depending on the age from 12 % to 53 % of teeth are extracted.
