Prevention of Dental Caries in Children
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: A two-year program of controlled brushing of teeth conducted among junior schoolchildren of secondary schools No. 8 and No. 2 of the Samarkand region, Nurabat river showed high efficiency. There was a decrease in the growth of caries of permanent teeth by an average of 49.5%. There were no significant differences between the effectiveness of remineralizing toothpastes without fluoride, pastes with aminofluoride and sodium fluoride in this study. When comparing the data obtained with the results of a similar program that covered a much larger number of primary school children, a similar tendency to decrease the increase in caries of permanent teeth was noted, which allows us to conclude that the results obtained are reliable. However, the anti-carious effect of the same toothpastes in the previously conducted program is somewhat lower - within 32%. This difference is due to the different levels of motivation and discipline of participants in ongoing preventive programs.
