Аннотация

The prevalence of periodontal diseases has a steady upward trend. In the last decade, there has been a significant increase in periodontal diseases in children and young people. In 10-15% of 13-16 year olds, children are diagnosed with generalized forms of gingivitis and periodontitis. The wide prevalence of inflammatory and destructive lesions and periodontal disease among young people requires the development of measures for their prevention. The basis of such events is the data of mass epidemiological studies.
