REASONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERIODONTAL TISSUE DISEASES AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF THYROPATHOLOGY

Problem statement. A leading etiopathologic factor promoting the development of an inflammatory process in the gums is oral microflora which realizes its pathogenic action in case favorable local and general conditions are created [1, 2]. As a rule, these conditions in children are caused by excessive dental deposits due to both inadequate oral hygiene, lesions of the hard dental tissue available, and occlusive disturbances etc. Disorders of the protective mechanisms, metabolic and regulating processes in the child’s organism play an important role as well, which is the subject of our research [3, 4]. To understand the issue comprehensively we have analyzed the major local risk factors promoting the development of gingivitis in children, estimated alimentary, social-behavioral and preventive measures in the groups of observation. Objective: to determine risk factors promoting the development of chronic catarrhal gingivitis in children suffering from simple diffuse goiter (SDG). Materials and methods. With the aim to find these factors we have examined two age groups 12 and 15 years of age including 180 children suffering from SDG and 80 somatically healthy children.
