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).
