Abstract:
Цель нашего исследования - изучение распространенности
и интенсивности кариеса зубов у детей
города с низким содержанием фтора в воде и эффективности
коллективных (групповых) и индивидуальных
методов профилактики кариеса зубов.
Examinations of the dental status of 12-year-old
children of the same schools of the town of Baranovichi in various years
of two decades, from 1970 to 1990, showed an increase in the incidence
and intensity of dental caries up to the year 1986. After a program of
caries prevention was introduced in 1990, these parameters reduced.
Local and systemic prophylactic means were tested and introduced in a
complex of prophylactic measures. The best prophylactic effect was
attained in children aged 9 administered sodium fluoride tablets since the
age of 2 in comparison with the children administered such tablets since
the age of 6. Efficacy of fluorine varnish and zealing of fissures on
permanent molars with vitacryl was assessed.
