Anthropogenic load significantly affects the human body. It used to think that children, due to the high metabolism, are most susceptible to the effects of the urban ecosystem. Unfavorable environmental factors affect children's health, including dental health. Heavy metals tend to accumulate in the human body, namely in bones, hair, nails, and teeth. This can serve as an indicator of the technogenic load on the body. The process of maturation of tooth enamel is closely related to the intake of mineral components into the child's body. The aim of the work is a comparative analysis of the dental status and mineral composition of hard dental tissues in children at different levels of anthropogenic load. Material and methods. With the help of basic and additional examination methods, a comparative analysis of the dental status of primary school children was carried out and described. Using atomic emission spectrometry, the mineral composition of the hard tissues of the teeth of the children under study was studied. Results. It was found that in children in an area with a high anthropogenic load, the prevalence of dental caries and the presence of systemic hypoplasia of the enamel of permanent teeth are higher. Also, these children showed a relatively low caries resistance of the enamel and the content of micro-macroelements in the hard tissues of the teeth. Conclusions. To study dental morbidity in children of primary school age at different anthropogenic loads, it is necessary to carry out a complete examination, including basic and additional research methods. Also, laboratory methods of examination are recommended, namely, the determination of the mineral composition of the hard tissues of the teeth.

Aim. To determine the role of complications of caries of deciduous teeth in the structure of pathology of hard dental tissues. Methods. Conducted was a dental examination and treatment of 1016 children aged 1 to 9 years who were treated at the children’s dental clinic. Results. The overall prevalence of caries was 78.64%, the need for treatment was - 73.82%. Complications of dental caries were found in 60.83% of cases. 55.21% of children had temporary tooth pulpitis, 41.24% - had a diagnosis of «periodontitis». Premature removal of deciduous teeth was performed in 12.11% of cases. At an early age (1-3 years) 47.35% of the children were registered as having affected deciduous teeth, almost half of them had teeth with complicated dental caries (20.0%). In children of preschool age (4-6 years) the prevalence of caries disease was 92.17%, and complications of caries were diagnosed in 78.80% of cases. In the group of primary school children (7-9 years) the proportion of children with affected temporary teeth was 98.34%. 86.77% of children had deciduous teeth with complications of caries. Every child who comes to children’s dentist at an early age, already has an average of 2.33 affected teeth, in the preschool age - 4.8 teeth, in the primary school years - 5.02 affected deciduous teeth. In evaluating the intensity of dental caries it was established that each child had on average 1.96 teeth with uncomplicated caries and 2.08 teeth with caries complications. Treatment or retreatment was necessary in 70.69% of cases of affected teeth, of them uncomplicated caries accounted for 35.96%. Conclusion. Revealed was a high prevalence and need for treatment of complicated caries of deciduous teeth starting from an early age.

The article discusses the results of an empirical study focused on the comparative analysis of the characteristics of the social situation of development in normatively developing primary school children and children with disabilities studying in inclusive education. The study sample consisted of 14 primary school teachers and 328 students from two educational complexes in Moscow at the age from 7 to 11 years, including 18 children with a disability status , confirmed by the PMPK. The following methods were used: sociometry, the “Color Test of Relationship”, criterion-oriented observation in the classroom, interviews with teachers, analysis of individual cases. Research data indicates that the social status of children with disabilities is on average lower than the social status of their normatively developing classmates. In addition, children with disabilities have a low level of self-esteem more often than their peers without disabilities. It was shown that primary school children more often demonstrate positive emotional attitude than positive social attitude, i.e. choosing as partners for joint activities, towards their classmates with disabilities.

Background: Dental fluorosis is a disease of dental hard tissues resulting from excess fluoride intake during the developmental stages of teeth causing hypomineralization of the enamel. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of dental fluorosis among school children in Omdurman locality. Methods: Students in the sixth grade of school were examined to determine the prevalence of dental fluorosis using Dean’s index. Results: The prevalence of dental fluorosis was 68.3%. The majority of students were diagnosed with very mild (23.2%) and mild (26.5%) forms. There was no difference in the grade of fluorosis between children who were born outside and in Omdurman. Conclusion: Prevalence of dental fluoride was found to be very high among school children with no difference between males and females. Keywords: fluorosis, Sudan, school children

Prevention of dental caries in children occupies one of the first places in pediatric dentistry. Indeed, during the period of tertiary mineralization of the enamel, it is necessary to pay special attention to the mineralization of the enamel of the teeth. The most urgent issue is the prevention of dental caries at this time. Correctly selected basic and additional oral hygiene products have a preventive effect. Dental caries has a multifactorial etiology. It can be a genetic factor, eating of carbohydrate foods and sugars in large amounts , poor oral hygiene,ecology and others. It has been proven that the technogenic load of the environment negatively affects the dental health of children. The children are most sensitive to environmental influences. The purpose of this work was to determine the most effective preventive action of the selected combinations of oral hygiene products for children of primary school age who were born and live in areas under different anthropogenic loads. Methodology. Various combinations of basic and additional oral hygiene products for primary school children, containing fluorine and amorphous nanohydroxyapatite, have been proposed. Studied: enamel caries resistance, oral fluid pH, oral fluid microcrystallization, tooth electrical conductivity, etc. According to the results of the study, the most effective combinations of oral hygiene products were selected for dental caries prevention of the primary school children who were born and live at different levels of anthropogenic load. The children and their parents were trained in the correct methodology for oral care and proper nutrition.
