ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Aim:
The aim of the study was to determine the indicators of caries and its complications in the temporary teeth of children who permanently live in a region with a high fluoride content in drinking water. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Materials andMethods:
It was examined with the definition of caries and its complications 277 children in the age range from 2 to 13 years, who were born and permanently live in the urban-type settlement of Mashivka. The fluoride content in the drinking water of the settlement was 1.7-2.5 mg/l.RESULTS:
Results:
During the analysis of data from the survey of children who were born and permanently lived in the urban-type settlement of Mashivka, it was determined that the prevalence of caries of temporary teeth probably increases with age. Half of the 3-5-year-old children had caries-affected teeth, and temporary tooth caries reached the highest rates in 10-year-old children. It should be noted that a fifth of children in the youngest age group (3-5 years old) suffer from pulpitis and periodontitis of temporary teeth.CONCLUSION:
Conclusions:
The conducted examination of children urban-type settlement of Mashivka confirms the opinion that the excessive content of fluorine in drinking water does not have a caries-protective effect, and the intensity of the process reaches the indicators characteristic of regions with its optimal content. Such a situation requires strengthening measures for both primary and secondary prevention of dental diseases.Palabras clave
