Application of estimated oral health indices in adolescents with tobacco addiction.

Unlabelled: It is known that every day 2,500 children under the age of 18 try their first cigarette, and more than 400 of them become new, regular smokers, and half of them will die from this addiction in the future.

Aim: The aim of the study is to determine changes in the indices of dental status in adolescents with tobacco smoking.

Materials And Methods: The study involved 54 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years.

ANALYSIS OF LOCAL IMMUNITY INDICATORS OF THE ORAL CAVITY AND DEGREE OF GINGIVITIS DEPENDING ON MUTATION OF CFTR GENE IN CHILDREN WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS.

The aim of the work was to establish the relationship between the genotype of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the level of local immune reactivity and the degree of chronic gingivitis in children with cystic fibrosis. The study has shown significant differences in the local immunity indices of the oral mucosa and the condition of periodontal tissues in children with cystic fibrosis in comparison with the control group. The features of the course of dental pathology among sick children, depending on the type of CFTR gene mutation are determined.
