Development of pathogenetic ways to prevent and treat dental caries in children

Peculiarities of the clinical course of dental caries in children are explained by the resistance of dental hard tissues and the reactivity properties of the organism. It is known that the formation of tooth resistance to dental caries depends on the conditions of antenatal development of the child, the state of his health in the period of neonatal and infant age. Under the influence of unfavorable factors the processes of intra-mandibular development and primary mineralization of teeth are disturbed, the conditions providing timely and qualitative maturation of their hard tissues are changed. In children exposed to risk factors, already in the period of temporary bite formation there is a significant prevalence and intensity of initial caries, a high rate of growth of its developed stages.
