DENTAL HEALTH STAT E OF CHILDREN LIVING IN DIFFERENT ANTHROPOGENIC CONDITIONS Luchynsky і M . A . I. Y. Horbachevskyy Ternopil State Medical University of Ministry of Health of Ukraine , Ukraine, Ternopil ( Ternopil , Maydan Voli, 1, 46001 ) Abstract The purpose of the work is to study dental health of children living in conditions of combined negative impact of natural and technological factors. Materials and methods. It was performed an epidemiological dental examination of 2,551 children aged 6 to 15 years, who settled in different regions of the Precarpathians, in conditions of iodine and fluoride deficiency (plain - 1087 children, foothills - 730 and mountain - 734 children). Results. Comprehensive epidemiological studies found low levels of dental health of children living in different geochemical and anthropogenic conditions of Ivano-Frankivsk region (48,83 ± 0,36)% in the general observation, that is not statistically different by regions examination, moreover girls level is lower, than that of boys in examined regions (48,14 ± 0,50) and (49,51 ± 0,52)%, respectively. It was founded, that the main diseases, which contribute to the reduction of dental health in children, is dental caries and its complications and abnormalities of dentoalveolar system. It was found, that the frequency and severity of dentoalveolar abnormalities depend on anthropogenic environmental conditions: in children of plain and foothill regions, that suffer from greater anthropogenic pressure, dentoalveolar abnormalities where found in (67,99 ± 1,42) and (65,21 ± 1,76)%, against (45,91 ± 1,84)% in children of conditionally pure mountain region. These same children also often recorded more severe pathology – combined anomalies (24,09 ± 1,57) and (22,06 ± 1,90)%, against (12,17 ± 1,78)%, respectively). It was found the connection between the dentoalveolar abnormalities and the presence of caries (r = + 0,95; p <0,01) and periodontal tissue diseases (r = + 0,79; p <0,05). Keywords: children, dental health, dentoalveolar abnormalities, dental caries, periodontal disease, hypoplasia.
