Abstract:
A dental examination 872 children aged 7-16 years, living in environmentally unfavorable areas of Lviv region was conducted. The CPI index was used for the assessment of intensity of parodont tissue inflammation. It was found a significant intensification of inflammatory processes in parodont tissues and prevalence of options bleeding gums and dental calculus in children with catarrhal gingivitis. The prevalence and intensity of inflammatory processes of parodont in children living in ecologically unfavorable regions is significantly higher than in those with conditionally «clean», which can be caused not only by objective somatic, social and dental factors, but also the negative environmental factors.
