Background. Preventive measures that are implemented through the introduction of regional prevention programs have a massive focus and do not lead to a decrease in dental morbidity, because they are based on routine preventive measures without taking into account the individual characteristics of metabolic processes in the patient's oral cavity. All this confirms the need to abandon the mass approach when carrying out preventive measures, and requires the search for modern methods for predicting dental caries, based on predictive diagnostics of the risk of caries, which should be a key element of clinical examination of the pediatric population by a dentist. Purpose of the study: on the basis of a comprehensive clinical and laboratory approach with the use of mathematical analysis of the obtained data on homeostasis of the oral cavity, to establish predictors of the development of the carious process in children in order to determine the possibility of predicting dental caries during the period of mixed bite. Methodology. To achieve this goal, a comprehensive clinical and laboratory examination of metabolic processes in the oral cavity was carried out in 60 caries-resistant children during the period of mixed bite: from 7 to 12 years. Statistical analysis was performed using the STATISTICA 8.0 software. Results. According to the results of the study, strong relationships were revealed between individual clinical and laboratory indicators-predictors, an optimal set of predictors was established for constructing classification models for patients with different types of MCS, which is a prerequisite for the possibility of predicting the risk of caries development in children during the mixed bite period. Conclusions. An optimal set of predictors has been established for constructing classification models for patients with different types of ISS for creating computer programs aimed at preclinical diagnostics of the subclinical course of the carious process with access to prediction, which will allow planning individual primary preventive measures in children during the period of active formation of hard dental tissues.
Subject. The child's development process takes place in stages. At the age of 4 to 6 years, children have the first growth spurt, as a result of which the trunk and limbs increase in length. This manifests itself in the appearance of the ability to perform the Philippine Test. The beginning of the change of teeth, the order and rate of teething are important indicators of biological maturation and harmonious development of the child's body. The lack of a standardized integrated approach among specialists of various profiles in determining the correspondence of the chronological age to the biological age of each examined child dictates the need to develop and apply in practice a universal test, taking into account the dental status of the patient living in a certain geographical region. Background. The aim is to comprehensively assess the parameters of biological maturity of preschool children (5 and 6 years old) in the city of Omsk, taking into account the dental status. Methodology. The study involved 5 and 6-year-old children attending the Omsk pre-school, 55 of them boys and 46 girls-a total of 101 children. The children were divided according to odontological characteristics into three groups. The first group ― children whose number of available teeth corresponds to the terms of eruption according to Kolesov A. A. (1985); the second group ― children who have advanced terms of teething; the third group ― children whose terms of eruption lag behind the above terms. Results. An interdisciplinary approach is needed, aimed at the timely diagnosis of mineral metabolism disorders in children and the appointment of an adequate set of preventive and therapeutic measures. Findings. The established dissonance of the studied parameters of the biological maturity of the child dictates the need for a comprehensive approach to the planned medical examination of preschool children in order to determine the biological maturity of the child, taking into account the dental status of the growing organism.
