Abstract

The degree of antioxidant defense of mouth liquid is studied in children with cleft lip and/or palate (N=46) and in children with neuropsychiatric disorders (N=76) in connection with development of dental diseases. Control group is formed by somatically healthy children (N=60). Inspected children were subdivided into two subgroups dependant on their age: from 8 to 12 years (mixed bite) and from 13 to 15 years (permanent bite). All children were on clinical account in children dental office clinic of Kubanskii State Medical University and constantly lived in Krasnodar. In children with defects of maxillofacial area and with neuropsychiatric disorders in comparison with control, reduced indices of hygiene of mouth cavity, higher indices of distribution and intensity of caries, more heavy flow of periodontal diseases and increase of indices of «oxidative stress» in mouth cavity were observed. Obtained results evidence the display of «oxidative stress» on a background of low level of hygiene in two studied children groups with pathology, which by no means support the development of dental diseases (caries and periodontal diseases), and might be used in practical health protection for the prognosis of the flow of dental diseases.
