Abstract

Today, the issues of studying the dental health of children and adolescents living in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan remain relevant. The health of the younger generation, including dental health, is an important priority area that contributes to improving the quality of life. Aim. To study dental morbidity in children and adolescents in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Material and methods. A survey of 608 children and adolescents living in educational institutions was carried out. The results of the preventive dental examination were recorded in an electronic dental card. Passport data, subjective, objective data and data of intraoral examination were included in the electronic map for studying the prevalence. Particular importance was attached to the state of oral hygiene, the indicator of sanitized patients and the need for sanitation of the oral cavity. Results and discussion. The rationale for conducting the survey in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan was the study of the level of health in children and adolescents to establish risk factors for dental morbidity. Dental examination of 608 children and adolescents testifies to the high intensity and prevalence of dental caries, periodontal tissue diseases, dentoalveolar anomalies. Most children and adolescents need oral cavity sanitation, this figure was 51,9%. Undoubtedly, in educational institutions it is necessary to carry out sanitary and educational work and timely sanitation of the oral cavity. The obtained statistical data will allow us to draw up a "dental health map" of children and adolescents living in various regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan and develop a comprehensive program for the prevention of dental diseases. Conclusions. One of the main issues in dental practice is the study of the prevalence of caries in early childhood, including among children under 14 years of age, in order to prevent the development of complications, to carry out preventive measures to improve the quality of life. Dental caries is the most common among children living in educational institutions. Also, 28% of children have poor-quality fillings, decayed teeth, and due to non-observance of oral hygiene, inflammatory diseases of the periodontal tissues develop. About 35% of children need orthodontic care due to the development of dentoalveolar anomalies. Orthodontic care, which is a paid service, is not fully provided to this category of children and adolescents. Therefore, there remain a number of organizational-preventive and organizational-therapeutic measures that need to be addressed. Keywords: examination, dental health, analysis, project.
