The aim: Is to study the ecological and hygienic situation in the living area of 6-year-old children in terms of drinking water (micro- and macroelements), to identify its relationship with the state of mineral metabolism in children’s mouths, prevalence and intensity of temporary and permanent caries.
Materials and methods:Clinical and laboratory studies were to study the objective condition of the teeth -intensity of dental caries according to the recommendations of the WHO and the method of T.F. Vinogradova. The hygienic condition of the oral cavity was determined by the indices Silness-Loe, Stallard.
Results: The results of our studies have shown that the proposed therapeutic and prophylactic complex, which includes drugs of endogenous (Vitafluor) and exogenous use (osteovitis, deep fluoridation, toothpastes “Splat junior” and “Lacalut fluor”), improves the hygienic state of the oral cavity, increases mineralizing the potential of the oral fluid and, as a result, helps to reduce the intensity of dental caries in children.
Conclusions: The data obtained indicated a high caries prophylactic efficacy of the proposed therapeutic and prophylactic complex for 6-year-old children living in the zone of hypophtorosis.
