Brief 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. Identification of risk factors affecting children's dental health, especially regarding the safety of using fluoride to prevent dental caries Development of a comprehensive program for the prevention of the child population, taking into account the analysis of the situation in dentistry in Chapaevsk, with the participation of primary health care personnel, caregivers and families. The practical significance of the study involves the introduction of a developed comprehensive prevention program among the child population, based on interdisciplinary interaction at the level of primary health care and interdepartmental interaction with the teaching staff of preschool educational institutions and schools.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

Index of DMF
The decay-missing-filled (DMF) index or decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index is one of the most common methods in oral epidemiology for assessing dental caries prevalence as well as dental treatment needs among populations. This index is based on in-field clinical examination of individuals by using a probe, mirror and cotton rolls, and simply counts the number of decayed, missing (due to caries only) and restored teeth. Statistics are available per populations according to age.
