Abstract

Dental care for children with orphan diseases is provided in hospices and is palliative in nature. To plan the volume and methods of dental care for children with orphan diseases (cystic fibrosis, mucopolysaccharidosis, etc.), it is important to study their dental status. To develop preventive programs for dental pathology, it is customary to study the cariesogenic situation in the oral cavity and the functional activity of the maxillofacial region. The aim of the study was to study the indicators of cariesogenic situation and bioelectric activity of chewing muscles in children with orphan diseases who are on enteral nutrition. Materials and methods. 2 groups of patients aged from 6 to 13 years were examined. The first group included children with orphan diseases who are on enteral nutrition (36 people). The second group consisted of 32 children without chronic pathology with a normal state of the maxillofacial region. Conclusion. Children with orphan diseases showed a low level of intensity of dental caries in comparison with the control group. A feature of the localization of dental caries in children with orphan diseases is the location of cavities and foci of demineralization in the cervical region. Absolute values of bioelectric activity of the main chewing muscles in children of this group are significantly reduced compared to the same values in children of the control group. The impact and ATTIV indices were significantly reduced in children of this study group.

Key words:

orthotic diseases, dental caries, electromyography, bioelectric activity of masticatory muscles
