Abstract

Evaluation of the dental status of children with overweight showed that carious lesions of teeth and periodontal disease occur more often compared to healthy children.

The aim of the study – to determine the factors and indicators of the risk of carious disease and periodontal disease in overweight children and adolescents.

Materials and Methods. In the analytical epidemiology, the EGOHID-2005 system was used. Two key age groups of 100 schoolchildren in each of 12 and 15 years old were studied in Lviv.

Results and Discussion. The main factors, that determine the different intensity of carious disease and periodontal tissue diseases, were differences in the children's compliance with the recommended regime of tooth brushing, the use of fluorine-containing toothpastes and frequent consumption of sugary foods and beverages.

Conclusions. The system of European indicators of dental health EGOHID is quite informative in identifying risk factors for bleeding gums and dental caries in overweight children and adolescents.
