[Epidemiological rationale for community-based programs of caries prevention of permanent teeth for children of Samara city]. / Épidemiologicheskoe obosnovanie kommunal'nykh programm profilaktiki kariesa postoiannykh zubov dlia detei Samary.

INTRODUCTION: The global objectives of WHO in the field of oral health by 2020 include the average intensity of caries among 12-year-old children no more than 1.5 by the DMFT index. In Samara the value of the DMFT among the adolescents at age 12 is 3.5. AIM: To identify the appropriate timing for a launching of community-based schemes of dental caries prevention of permanent teeth for children of Samara. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a cross-sectoral multisample research from March to May 2017, the time of eruption and intensity of caries of the first permanent molars among children in Samara were studied. A total of 405 children aged 5 to 8, attending preschool and school educational institutions were examined. The quantity and the stage of eruption of the first permanent molars were assessed; the initial and manifest forms of caries were considered during the calculation of indexes of caries intensity of teeth and surfaces. RESULTS: One to four first permanent molars were erupted among 26.3% of children aged 5, at an average 0.6±0.14 per one surveyed, the prevalence of caries of the first permanent molars was equal to 1.3%, including 1.3% of the initial carious defeats. In 6-year-old children - 65% had the first permanent molars, at an average of 2.38±0.199, and the prevalence of caries in these teeth was 29.63%, including initial forms of caries 27.16%. The results among 7-year-old children - 87.18% and 3.12±0.156, 60.3% and 51.28%, respectively. In 8-year-old children these figures were equal: 97.26%, 3.79±0.091, 68.49% and 60.27%, respectively. The rate of eruption of the first permanent molars and the prevalence of their carious lesions among girls was significantly higher than among boys. CONCLUSION: The optimal age of children of Samara for inclusion in the regional programs of dental caries prevention is the age of 4 years - the age of the beginning of the first permanent molar eruption.

[Consensus resolution on a modern view on the therapeutic and prophylactic effect of individual oral care products containing fluoride]. / Rezoliutsiia Ékspertnogo soveta 'Sovremennyi vzgliad na lechebno-profilakticheskoe deistvie individual'nykh sredstv dlia ukhoda za polost'iu rta, soderzhashchikh ftoridy'.

The purpose of the publication was to present the materials of the Expert Council Consensus on 'A Modern View on the Treatment and Preventive Effect of Fluoride Containing Personal Oral Care Products', which took place on April 21, 2019 in Moscow (Russia) with the support of the pharmaceutical company JSC GlaskoSmitKlein Helsker. During the work of the expert council, a solution was developed for the safe use of fluoride-containing oral hygiene products as part of fluoride prevention of dental caries. In the real conditions of everyday life, it is advisable for dentists to: use local fluoride-containing agents to know the concentration of fluoride in drinking water and in areas with low and optimal levels of it; recommend fluorides for daily use in small concentrations, for example, for children from 2 years of age to brush their teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste for at least 3 minutes; children up to 6 years old, when brushing their teeth once, use no more than a pea-size piece of toothpaste with 500 ppm of fluoride; toothpastes with fluoride concentration from 500 to 5000 ppm should be admitted depending on the risk level of caries development; rinses with a fluoride concentration of 0.025-0.05% should be recommended for children from 6 years and adults twice a day for 1 minute after brushing teeth; for patients with a high risk of caries, periodically (from 2 to 6 times a year) to carry out applications with agents with high concentration of fluorides; for prolonging the effect of local fluorine-containing agents advise patients to refrain from eating and drinking for an hour after their use. Dentists should know the methods of fluoride use in dentistry, since fluoride prevention of caries should be an integral part of their therapeutic and preventive work.

[Awareness of doctors in sportmedicine and sportsmen concerning stomatological health].

[Role of behaviorial risk factors in developing dental caries of temporary teeth in infancy].

176 children of the age from 3 to 36 months were examined and their mothers were questionnaired of the child's nutrition, length of breast feeding and oral cavity care. Oral cavities of mothers were also examined with recording of dental caries intensity index (DMF). Dental caries prevalence in children of 6--36 months age was equal to 27.2% with the mean intensity dmft =2.21. High role of behaviorial risk factors in developing dental caries of temporary teeth in infancy was emphasized. The particular role belonged to unhygienic status of oral cavity, use of feeding bottles when feeding children over 15 months of age, nocturnal food intake particularly in the form of sweet drinks. Correlation between dental caries in children and their parents was found.

[Secondary adentia and dental implantation (epidemiological and sociological study by a telephone interview method)]. / Vtorichnaia adentia i dental'naia implantatsiia (épidemiologicheskoe i sotsiologicheskoe issledovanie metodom telefonnogo oprosa).

Epidemiological research of partial secondary adentia was done by means of telephone interviewing the population of city of Samara (1104 persons are interrogated). Prevalence and intensity of the disease in various age groups, and also average indices for all adult population are established. The share of the persons requiring for dental prosthetics among patients with defects of dental lines is determined. The same method investigates awareness of the population about dental implantation, and also the estimation is given to public opinion on treatment with the use of implants.
