ASSESSMENT OF THE SEVERITY OF GINGIVITIS IN CHILDREN WITH DISORDERS OF TEETH FORMATION SUFFERED AFTER THE CHORNOBYL NPP ACCIDENT.

Objective: to determine the severity of gingivitis in children with teeth formation disorders - residents of the ter-ritories contaminated with radionuclides as a result of Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) accident.

Materials And Methods: The object of the study is 1470 children aged 6-14 years with dental malformations, 528 amomg them are residents of areas contaminated with radionuclides as a result of the ChNPP with the identified types of disorders of teeth formation (DTF) (systemic enamel hypoplasia (SEH) and molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH)), and different stages of the severity of gingivitis.

Results: Determining of the degree of severity of gingivitis in children with DTF indicates the presence of its lesion of a moderate degree of the severity with a prevalence in persons with SEH or MIH and chronic diseases of internal organs suffered after the ChNPP accident.

DENTAL CARIES INTENSITY IN CHILDREN WITH DISTURBANCES IN TOOTH FORMATION, SURVIVED AFTER THE CHORNOBYL NPP ACCIDENT.

Objective: assessment of dental caries intensity in children with disturbances in tooth formation living in radiologically contaminated territories as a result of the Chornobyl NPP accident.

Materials And Methods: Children aged 6-14 years old (n = 1470) suffering from disturbances in tooth formation(DTF) with the residents of radiologically contaminated territories (n = 528) among them were enrolled in the study.The DTF subtypes were assayed, namely the systemic enamel hypoplasia (SEH) and molar incisor hypomineralisation(MIH).

ORAL HYGIENE IN CHILDREN WITH DISTURBANCES IN TOOTH FORMATION WHO WERE AFFECTED AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ChNPP ACCIDENT.

Objective: evaluation of oral hygiene to enhance the prophylaxis of complications specifically of dental caries inchildren with disturbances in tooth formation (DTF) who live on radiologically contaminated territories after theChornobyl NPP (ChNPP) accident.

Materials And Methods: Children aged 6-14 years (n = 1470) with DTF were the study subjects examined in 2012-2016. Among them there were (n = 528) residents of the zones III and IV of radiological contamination after theChNPP accident with 137Cs soil contamination density 1-15 Ci/km2.

ODONTOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION (review).

Background: Odontological effects of ionizing radiation (IR) as a result of radiotherapy, the consequences of accidents at nuclear power plants and industry, individual occupational exposure, etc. deserve significant attention interns of radiation medicine and radiation safety.

Objective: to analyze and summarize clinical and experimental data on the odontological radiation effects.

State of oral cavity hygiene, sIgA level, mineral content of oral fluid, and optimization of preventive intervention in children with enamel hypoplasia and underlying comorbidity.

Objective: To advance the efficiency of tooth caries prevention in children with enamel hypoplasia through a com plex intervention focused at amelioration of oral hygiene, secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) level, and mineral con tent of oral fluid.

Materials And Methods: Hypoplasia of permanent teeth enamel was the target of research. State of oral cavity hygiene, sIgA, total calcium and orthophosphate content in oral fluid were the research subject.
