Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: It was examined 16 children aged 9-16 years with a diagnosis of K05.1: chronic gingivitis and 10 persons with intact gums were taken as a comparison group.

CYTOLOGIC CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CELLULAR COMPOSITION OF THE GUM MUCOUS MEMBRANE IN SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN.

Objective: The aim: To establish the characteristics of the gingival mucosa cellular composition in school-age children.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We made a dental and cytological examination on 150 Ukrainian (Poltava city) children aged 6, 12, and 15 years. Smears were got by scraping from the gum mucosa and stained with a May-Grunwald solution.

FUNCTIONING OF NO-CYCLE IN THE ORAL FLUID IN CHILDREN OF PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE WITH TYPE 1 DIABETES MELLITUS IN THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC CATARRHAL GINGIVITIS.

Objective: The aim: To determine the activity of NO-synthase and arginase in oral fluid in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment scheme we elaborated in the treatment of chronic catarrhal gingivitis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 82 children were examined, they were divided into groups by presence of gingivitis and diabetes mellitus. NO-synthase (NOS) activity was determined in oral fluid by the difference in nitrite concentration before and after incubation.

THE LEVEL OF INTERLEUKIN-18 IN THE ORAL FLUID IN PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC CATARRHAL GINGIVITIS AND TYPE I DIABETES MELLITUS.

Objective: The aim: Of our research work was to study the level of proinflammatory interleukin-18 (IL-18) in the oral fluid of children with type I diabetes mellitus (DM), and to determine their periodontal status and the level of oral hygiene.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 82 children were examined, they were divided into groups by presence of gingivitis and diabetes mellitus. The level of interleukin-18 in oral fluid was determined by immunoassay.

THE BALANCE OF IL-1β, IL-10 AND THE LEVEL OF IKBα EXPRESSION IN CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC CATARRHAL GINGIVITIS AND GASTRODUODENITIS.

Objective: The aim: To define the level of pro- and anti-inflammatory IL-1β, IL-10 in the oral fluid of children with chronic gastroduodenitis, depending on the level of IkBα expression.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Studiing the oral fluid and scraping of the gums of 50 children 6-12 years old was carried out to determine the level of IL-1β, IL-10 and IkBα. The children were divided into 3 groups.

CLINICAL AND CYTOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GUMS IN CHILDREN OF PRIMARY SCHOOL AGE WITH NORMAL BODY WEIGHT AND OVERWEIGHT.

Objective: The aim of the research was to study the cellular composition of the gums in children of primary school age with normal body weight and overweight for further use of this data in the early diagnostics of periodontal diseases.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: We examined 81 children aged from 6 to 12 years. Cytological examination of gingival cytograms was performed in all examined children.

THE VALUE OF DENTAL EXAMINATION FOR EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM DISEASES.

Objective: The aim: The purpose of the study was to determine the correspondence between the location of the tongue median line and the degree of distortion of the vertebral column at different levels in children with scoliosis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Totally 56 children (30 girls, 26 boys) aged 11-14 years were examined, with a duration of musculoskeletal disorders 1-3 years. For each participant an oral cavity examination was performed, the position of the middle line of the tongue was determined.

The study of oral fluid dynamic parameters on the background of pathological and physiological dental abrasion.

Objective: Introduction: Violation of oral fluid mineralization processes, which is determined by the mineralization potential of saliva, is associated with changes in the physicochemical parameters of the oral fluid, particularly its viscosity. The aim of our study was to study mineralization potential and types of microstallation of oral fluid as one of the factors of influence on the cariesogenic situation in the oral cavity of patients with physiological or pathological tooth abrasion.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: During the examination of patients' oral cavity, a comprehensive assessment of tooth hard tissues was performed in order to of study activity and prevalence of the processes occurring in them.

Consideration of childhood psychological factors at dental appointment.

Objective: Introduction: Paediatric dentistry is a special field of dental practice. The scope of professional activities within this field covers not only high level of expertise and technical skills tailored to the needs of young patients, but requires searching and creating positive psychological environment and communicative management of each child in order to improve daily service methods. The aim of this study is to identify and describe the main psychological characteristics of the age developmental periods of child's personality that dental professionals should regard dealing with the paediatric patients.

[Morphological study of enamel and dentin teeth with carious process and non-carious lesions].

Objective: Introduction: The condition of hard teeth tissues while choosing treatment method becomes particularly important due to the large development of adhesive technologies and the choice of filling materials. The quality of adhesion is one of the key factors that affects effectiveness of the entire range of therapeutic interventions, that determines the success of therapeutic treatment and the reliability of therapeutic restorations fixation. The aim of the work is to study the condition of hard teeth tissues in carious and non-carious pathology for further rationale of the choice of filling material and adhesive system.

Studying the skills attitudes on factors affecting dental health of children.

Objective: Introduction: Nowadays, the high level of dental morbidity among children is an urgent medical problem. Healthy lifestyles and sanitary-hygienic upbringing in the family is most important components of the formation of dental health of children. But in order to be able to teach their children, parents need to be themselves knowledgeable about hygiene and prevention, have the necessary skills and desire to instill it in their children.

Differentiation of medically important Euro-Asian tick species Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes persulcatus, Ixodes hexagonus, and Dermacentor reticulatus by polymerase chain reaction.

Understanding epidemiology of the tick-borne pathogens requires the accurate identification of the vector ticks. Morphological analysis of ticks is difficult and often leads to misidentification. Molecular techniques offer an alternative approach of tick identification.
