On the basis of the conducted study in the Polish and Ukrainian groups of 18-year-old adolescents living on the borderland, it can be stated that dental erosion is a problem noticeable in both groups of cohorts, but with higher prevalence in the Lublin district.
Introduction. Fluorine is a common element in nature; however, the difference between a beneficial dose and a toxic dose for the organisms is small. The main source of fluoride for humans is water in addition to food. Objective. The aim of this study was to estimate the degree of severity of pathological changes, namely, caries or fluorosis, in the mineralized tooth tissue of 15-year-old adolescents with respect to their hygienic and nutritional habits, and the content of fluorine in drinking water, soil and plant products. Materials and method. 100 adolescents aged 15 from schools in Sosniłka, L'viv region, were examined. The condition of mineralized tooth tissue was evaluated by the caries severity, expressed by the mean number D3MFT, caries frequency and value of the SIC index. Fluorine in plant material and soil were determined according to the PN-G-04543:1982 standard, and water according to the PN-EN ISO 10304-1: 2009+ AC: 2012 standard. Results. Severity of caries disease expressed by the D3MFT number in the examined group of 15-year-olds was 3.39; in the group of girls-3.08, and in the group of boys-3.76. In the examined group, the average number of teeth with fluorosis was 7.59. Value of the SIC index among the examined population of students (n-31) was 6.26: 5.89 (n-18) for girls and 7.31 (n-13) for boys. Fluorine concentration in the water was 0.78-1.25(mg•dm-3). In the soil, it also did not vary across the sampled areas and amounted, on average, to 176 mg•dm-3. The biggest fluorine content noted in the dry mass of beetroots was 3.50 (mg F• kg), and the lowest-3.34 (mg F• kg). Conclusions. Close to optimal fluorine content lowers caries severity and frequency of fluorosis. Optimal fluorine content in drinking water and food does not require additional diet supplementation

StreszczenieWprowadzenie. Pacjenci niepełnosprawni z zaburzeniami somatycznymi i psychicznymi charakteryzują się złym stanem zmineralizowanych tkanek zębów oraz przyzębia. U pacjentów niepełnosprawnych opieka stomatologiczna, diagnostyka oraz leczenie chorób zębów i przyzębia są wciąż niewystarczające w stosunku do istniejących potrzeb. Stwierdzono, że w tej grupie osób najbardziej zaleca się leczenie stomatologiczne w znieczuleniu ogólnym. Cel pracy. Ocena stanu zmineralizowanych tkanek zębów w aspekcie choroby próchnicowej i jej powikłań w grupie niepełnosprawnych pacjentów dorosłych z województwa lubelskiego leczonych w znieczuleniu ogólnym. Materiał i metody. Grupę badaną stanowiło 147 pacjentów obojga płci, w tym 61 kobiet i 86 mężczyzn, w wieku od 18 do 56 lat pochodzących z województwa lubelskiego. W badanej grupie leczenie w znieczuleniu ogólnym po raz pierwszy było wykonane u 89,80% pacjentów, a po raz kolejny u 10,20%. Badane osoby w 40,14% (n = 59) pochodziły z dużego miasta, 23,13% (n = 34) z małego miasta i 36,73% (n = 54) osób badanych pochodziło ze wsi. Badanie kliniczne stanu zdrowia jamy ustnej przeprowadzono z użyciem lusterka i zgłębnika w warunkach sali operacyjnej. Stan tkanek zębów oceniono, określając frekwencję próchnicy, intensywność próchnicy, średnią liczbę

AbstractIntroduction and objective. The aim of the study is to evaluate the mineralization tooth tissues in the inhabitants of Melniki village Szackie, Lake District, Ukraine, with regard to silver content and chosen macro-elements in the soil, tap water, and the water in Pisoczno Lake located in the vicinity of village. Materials and method. The macro-elements, silver ions contained in the lake, tap water and soil were examined. 125 people aged 12-73, indigenous inhabitants of Melniki village, were qualified for dental examinations. The research took into account the distance between the place of residence and Pisoczno Lake as a source of silver ions, dividing the examined patients into 2 groups: A) living at a distance less than 2,500 m from the lake, and B) living at a distance more than 2.500 m from the lake. Results. In area A, significantly higher contents of phosphorus and potassium were detected, while in the soil of area B there was more Ca and Mg with 3 times higher number of Mg ions. A high concentration of Ag ions was observed in both Pisoczno Lake and tap water. The severity of caries expressed by D3MFT number was 4.18 in the group aged 12-16 living in area A, and 4.24 for the inhabitants of area B. The mean value of D3MFT for the group aged 32-45 living in area A equalled 21.58, while for area B it was 21.19. The severity of caries expressed by the mean D3MFT value in the examined group of 46-73-year-olds was 24.60 for area A, and 23.80 for area B. The observed differences were not statistically significant. Conclusions. The high value of D3MFT recorded in the inhabitants of Melniki village indicates the poor condition of mineralized tooth tissues. The fact that the contents of macro-elements in the soil and drinking water increased, together with the distance from the Pisoczno Lake shoreline, did not affect the oral health of the indigenous inhabitants. No impact of silver ions contained in the lake and tap water on the condition of mineralized tooth tissue was detected in the examined group of inhabitants of Szackie Lake District.
