In the second half of the 19th century, Croatia experienced a radicalchange in the performance of dental practice and legislation that regulatessuch practice. From the old feudal system when dental practice was practised bybarbers-surgeons and feldshers (Old Croatian language: vidari), it istransferred to a more modern system where dental practice becomes a part of medicalsciences and its implementation requires adequate medical education. The mostimportant factor that contributed to this was the adoption of new modern lawsin 1874, and then in 1894, as well as accompanying regulations, whichadequately regulated the matter of public health and dental practice.
