Аннотация

The workers of the main specialties of the Bukhara oil refinery were examined. Carious teeth were found in all refinery employees (100.00% prevalence of caries). On average, workers found 12.25 ± 0.53 carious teeth per one examined, fillings (element P) 2.41 ± 0.11, the number of extracted teeth - 6.52 ± 0.24. The results of this study prove the need to educate oil refinery workers about the need to maintain oral hygiene and the adverse effects of occupational hazards on oral diseases.
