FEATURES OF DENTAL STATUS AND METABOLISM IN CHILDREN WITH EARLY CHILDHOOD CARIES AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE DYSPLASIA.

Objective: The aim: To assess the dental status of infants suffering from connective tissue dysplasia, with the analysis of some aspects of hydrocarbon and amino acid metabolism (blood, urine) and internal organs status.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 81 infants (aged 14 - 36 months) with multiple dental caries were examined. Among them 39 infants were suffered from connective tissue dysplasia.

Possibilities of modern x-ray examination methods for diagnostics of hidden dental caries of approximal localization.

Objective: Introduction: In case of hidden carious cavities development on the approximal teeth surfaces, the clinical diagnostics of this process is difficult. Then, the diagnostics of carious lesion is not possible without carrying out X-ray examination. The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of clinical and X-ray diagnostics for hidden caries of approximal teeth surfaces.
