Studies conducted in different countries indicate that in conditions of environmental pollution with toxic compounds - heavy metals, the level of dental morbidity increases.
The aim of the study is to study the state of dental health of the population living in conditions of environmental pollution with heavy metals.
Material and methods of the study. We conducted an examination of 426 school-age children living in the Kalush district (villages of Kopanky, Dovpotiv, etc.), as well as 110 adults (18-59 years old) living in Kalush for a long time.
Results of the study. According to the results of the examination of school-age children, it was found that the prevalence of dental diseases is 79.2–96.4%. Children were often diagnosed with multiple caries, a combination of several types of pathology was observed. The examined adults were found to have a rapid course of generalized periodontitis, a decrease in the density of the jaw bone tissue.
