Analysis of the intensity of carious infection of teeth in children permanently living in conditions of a pollated ecosystem.

Objective: Aim: Assessment of dental caries and its impact on the level of dental health of children aged 15-18 years of Upper Tysa region, who constantly live in conditions of combined negative effects of factors of natural and technological genesis.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: During the dental examination, the incidence of dental caries in 360 children aged 15-18 years from various biogeochemical zones of the cross-border region of the Upper Tysa region was studied and assessed using the International Caries Detection and Assessment System - ICDAS II (International Caries Detection and Assessment System).

Results: Results: It was found that the use of physiologically suboptimal drinking water from decentralized water resources is among the environmental determinants of the state of dental health of children in the Upper Potyssia.

The use of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of dental caries in children of contaminated areas of the ecosystem of the upper tysa region.

Objective: The aim: improving the effectiveness of treatment of dental caries in children using the method of photodynamic therapy.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The treatment of permanent tooth decay was performed in 35 children of the Upper Tysa region aged 12-15 years. Using the polymerase chain reaction method, the clinical efficacy of photodynamic therapy in the treatment of dentin caries was determined.
