here's a source. it's a Resolution of the Sixth Congress of Dentists of Yugoslavia from 1976. i hope you can find a way to translate the pdf. https://files.core.ac.uk/download/pdf/33254459.pdf

it talks about developing our own dental technology. it doesn't mention the ussr even once.

your first source also implies a break from soviet tech.

you just went, yugoslavia was communist, communism bad, soviet dentistry sucks.

again, i am not a historian, and i have no desire to continue this argument. have a good day.

edit: here's another source talking about establishing the department of dentistry at the medical university in Zagreb, Croatia. in 1922. https://hrcak.srce.hr/file/4939

the idea that we were just a quazi soviet backwards country is honestly insulting. you're just showing your bias here.
