Abstract
Resume. Many studies have shown that an important factor in the health of the human body is the state of the environment. The aim of this work is to review the literature on the study of the effects of xenobiotics on dental morbidity. The highest rates of prevalence and intensity of periodontal disease were found in regions with high and very high levels of environmental pollution, the lowest – in a region with relatively low total levels of environmental pollution. Children living in environmentally unfavorable areas have a significant number of somatic diseases, which are combined with high dental morbidity. The results of the assessment of the dental health of the surveyed children show that the level of dental health of children in contaminated areas is, on average, lower than that of children living in less contaminated areas. In children living in relatively clean areas, dental health rates are the highest among all surveyed. Conclusion. It is proved that the features and level of dental morbidity are largely due to adverse environmental factors. We believe that this requires the development of regional prevention programs. Key words: dental morbidity, toxic effects, adverse environmental factors.
