Summary. Among the general risk factors for dental caries, viral infection is important, which is one of the most common infections in both adults and children, as changes in the body can lead to reduced nonspecific resistance and depletion of defense mechanisms. At the same time, the peculiarities of dental caries in children with Epstein-Barr virus infection have not been sufficiently elucidated.
The aim of the study – assessment of caries in permanent teeth in children with Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Materials and Methods. To assess the condition of the hard tissues of the teeth, 240 children aged 6–14 years were examined (112 children with infectious mononucleosis and 128 practically healthy). The prevalence, intensity and activity of caries of permanent teeth were studied.
Results and Discussion. It was found that in children with Epstein-Barr viral infection, the prevalence and intensity of caries of permanent teeth is significantly higher than in children without signs of viral infection. Also in children with Epstein-Barr viral infection is dominated by degree II (31.87±3.24) % and III (29.48±3.45) % of activity of caries of permanent teeth, degree I of activity was detected only in (17.33±3.68) % of children, while among almost healthy children there is mostly degree I (29.19±3.31) % and II (28.96±3.13) % of activity of the carious process, degree III of activity was found only in (5.31±1.89) % of children, which is significantly lower than among children with Epstein-Barr virus infection (p<0.05).
Conclusions. Thus, it was found that in children with Epstein-Barr virus infection, the prevalence and intensity of caries of permanent teeth is higher than in almost healthy children. Higher activity of permanent dental caries with a predominance of degree II and III in children with Epstein-Barr virus infection was also found. The obtained results can be used in the development of comprehensive measures for the prevention and treatment of dental caries in children with viral infections.
