Abstract

In the Omsk region, there is a massive prevalence of dental caries in children of all age groups — 81%, the caries intensity is 4.0. A high frequency of periodontal diseases has also been established, reaching 70%. The highest percentage of deformities and dental anomalies was found in the children’s population of the northern districts of the Omsk region and is equal to 64%. At the same time, the highest prevalence is in 5—6 years of age (68.6%). As a result of the conducted research, a low level of dental care for the children’s population of the region has been established in terms of quantitative and qualitative indicators. The high incidence of dental caries in children of the Omsk region is associated with the low content of fluoride ions in drinking water and the lack of a preventive focus in the dental service of the region, which necessitates the development and implementation of a regional program for the prevention of dental diseases and the inclusion of mandatory medical examinations of the pediatric population at the dentist.

Key words:

children, dental caries, primary prevention
