The problem is actual for both urban and rural areas. In addition, there was an increase in the percentage of patients with age. Certain risk factors that are of great importance in the occurrence and development of periodontal diseases are identified, at the same time their combined influence is not always taken into account. Purpose. Evaluation of epidemiological indicators and etiopathogenetic factors of periodontal inflammatory diseases in a large agro-industrial region. Materials and methods. There was an examination of 600 people. For each of them, a periodontal online card was filled out on the website perio-tools.com, which included the main criteria for the state of periodontal tissues. The relationship between the severity of periodontal risk factors and the severity of periodontal diseases was being determined. Results. Among the examined adult population, the structure of inflammatory periodontal diseases at urban and rural residents was dominated by pathology corresponding to an average degree of periodontal risk. In the elderly group, a high degree of periodontal risk prevails among rural residents (Talmenka village 16.00 ± 0.03%, Shipunovo village 14.00 ± 0.02%), which is two times more than among residents of the capital Altai Territory (7.00 ± 0.06%). Correlation analysis showed a direct relationship between risk factors and the severity of periodontal disease, as well as the statistical significance of individual factors in the population of the Altai Territory when compared. Conclusion. The most significant factors and their totality in the occurrence and development of periodontal diseases depending on age and region of residence are identified, which is important in the organization of early prevention.
