Description
Summary:The characteristics of quantitative and qualitative changes in the composition and properties of hard tissues of teeth and mixed saliva among children of primary school age living in the North Keywords: mixed saliva, hard tissues of teeth, temporary and permanent teeth, dental caries. A comprehensive study of dental school-age children in secondary schools in the city of yakutsk was carried out. We examined 117 children at the age of 8 years. Noted a high prevalence of dental caries in permanent teeth of children surveyed, which was 57,51 ± 0,15%, and the frequency data destruction temporary and permanent teeth were at 98,24 ± 0,03%. The intensity of caries in permanent teeth by the index of DFMT in the examined children was 1,92 ± 0,18, and DFMT+perm – 2,05 ± 0,18. The obtained data dictates the need to intensify measures aimed at neutralizing the identified risk factors and implementation of a comprehensive prevention of dental caries in the child population of the Republic of Sakha (yakutia).
