The aim of this study is determine the changes in the local microbiocenosis of the oral cavity in patients with direct composite and indirect ceramic restorations within 12 months after the treatment completion. Materials and methods. The assessment of changes in the local microbiocenosis was performed on 18 individuals. The species and quantitative composition of the microflora was determined before the treatment and in 1 year after the treatment. To collect biomaterial samples (oral fluid) we used special probe with hygroscopic cotton swabs, then placed into test tubes with Amies transport solution. Results. The general assessment of the microbiological condition of the oral cavity of the patients with restorations of anterior teeth performed with different materials did not reveal a statistical difference in the change of microbiocenosis before the treatment and one year after the treatment. When identifying the relationship between microbiological changes in the oral cavity, depending on age in the group, where light curing composite resin was used, a statistically significant difference was found out in the indicator of opportunistic microflora (in particular Candida albicans) ranging from the "normal" values to the "above normal" values (<102 ) in the middle-aged patients. Conclusions. Restoration material, age and sex of the patient do not have a significant effect on the change of the local microbiocenosis of the oral cavity. However, the use of ceramic restorations in some individual cases may improve the state of the microbiocenosis, as dental ceramics is a worse substrate for microbial plaque adhesion and microorganism development compared with composite materials.
