Development and evaluation of the effectiveness of the dental dental examination program for children with diabetes in adverse envir-onmental conditions

Abstract

According to WHO, people with disabilities make up one tenth of the world's population. It is known that the incidence of childhood disability in developed countries is 250 cases per 10, 000 children, and has a clear upward trend. According to the UNICEF American Foundation, nowadays every twentieth child has a particular category of disability. In other words, there are now about 93 million disabled children in the world. Disability in childhood is one of the serious problems of medicine. The practical work of a dentist with children with disabilities is associated with the expressed difficulties of conducting medical and preventive procedures. (N.V. Shovkun, A.V. Fomina). Today, the issue of prevention of various diseases in children with disabilities is especially relevant throughout the world. The quality of dental care, estimated by the index “level of dental care”, was 9% for preschool children, 21% for schoolchildren, which corresponded to a poor and insufficient level of dental care. Indicators of congenital defects of the central nervous system are characterized by an increase and a combination of functional disorders. For the first time, a program of dental medical examination of children with various forms of diabetes will be developed and tested, to prove the high effectiveness of oral diseases in children suffering from diabetes. For the first time, data will be obtained on the effectiveness of the rehabilitation of the oral cavity of children suffering from diabetes. Currently, there is practically no information in the literature on large-scale programs of dental prophylaxis for children with disabilities. Dental morbidity of children, including persons with disabilities, remains one of the most acute and urgent problems in the CIS countries.
