Abstract

The fluorescent diagnostic method is the most available and informative. It allows to visualize a plaque and a tartar, to assess the loss of tooth enamel, to diagnose various types of caries, as well as cracks. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of oral cavity visualization with QLF camera to improve oral hygiene care in children aged 6—10 years.
Material and methods.
The study involved 106 children aged 6—10 years.
Results.
Prior to the study, most children (24 children) of the 1st group brushed their teeth no more than once a day, 7 children did not brush teeth regularly. After 6 months of regular monthly examinations, all children from this group began to brush their teeth twice a day. 22 children of the 2nd group brushed their teeth once a day, 10 children — irregularly. Also, after 6 months of dynamic observation 18 children of this group began to brush their teeth once a day, and 14 children — twice a day. Children of the 3rd group did not brush their teeth regularly or once a day before the study (13 and 30 patients, respectively). After 6 months, 2 children began to brush their teeth twice a day, 28 children — once a day, and 12 children did not brush their teeth regularly. Parent ‘s survey shows that children of the 1st group improved oral care from an average of 5.66±1.06 to 8.88±1.08 points (p>0.05). The level of oral hygiene in children of 2nd and 3rd groups did not change significantly. In children of the 1st group, the oral hygiene index improved from 87.36±8.06 over 6 months up to 33.05±4.21% of painted surfaces. The index of oral hygiene in children of the 2nd group improved from 86.94±7.43% to 54.82±7.18% of painted surfaces.
Conclusions.
The fluorescent diagnostics with the QLF camera revealed a high level of adherence of children aged 6—10 years to oral care.
