Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of the hygienic state of the oral cavity and the assessment of periodontal tissues of younger schoolchildren against the background of a complex of preventive measures and dental education, which was carried out at the individual and group level in the conditions of a school dental office and health lessons in classes. The study covered 112 schoolchildren. The dynamics of the hygiene index according to Fedorov-Volodkina and the PMA index depend on the shape of the cutting of the working field of the toothbrush, which allows us to offer active use of the “eXceed™” brushes, which have crissCross™ bristles. The high efficiency of hygienic education of schoolchildren based on the comprehensive conduct of dental health lessons and the use of oral hygiene items was established. At the same time, health lessons must be held two times a week for 30 minutes, only 8 lessons per cycle with additional health lessons for teachers and parents once a month for six months. The use of an integrated approach in the controlled hygienic education of schoolchildren through regular dental lessons for schoolchildren, teachers, parents contributes to the development of sustainable manual skills in oral care and makes it possible to recommend the opening of a dental office to the school administration.
