Summary
Relevance. The dental health of the Chapaevsk children's population and the risk factors for dental caries and periodontal disease were well studied in 1995-2009. But pilot epidemiological studies conducted in 2018 by employees of the Department of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics showed that despite the improvement in the environmental situation as a result of large-scale state measures of the city's environmental rehabilitation program, the prevalence and intensity of dental caries increased against the background of improved somatic health indicators. In addition, the "K" component (untreated caries) prevails in the structure of the KPU, which indicates gaps in the organization of dental care. At present, the development and implementation of a comprehensive program for the prevention of dental diseases, based on an analysis of the situation and aimed at strengthening the health and improving the quality of life of children in Chapaevsk, remains an extremely urgent problem. Such a program can be used for implementation in other regions with the adaptation of measurable prevention targets. Scientific novelty of the research.
