Relevance . The article presents the current data on the impact of calcium and phosphorus metabolism on the development of demineralized enamel areas in adolescents. The level of vitamin D3, osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in mixed saliva appeared to reflect the risk of the cariogenic situation in the oral cavity and the risk of enamel demineralization development, which are relevant in pediatric dentistry. Purpose – to reveal the relationship between the localized enamel demineralization and the calcium and phosphorus metabolism in teenagers. Materials and methods . In 45 adolescents, the study examined the vulnerability of hard dental tissues, including initial lesions and the mixed saliva mineral metabolism in teenagers. We formed the following groups to study the caries intensity level. Group 1 consisted of 12 adolescents with a DMF index of 3.8. 11 adolescents comprised group 2 and 11 adolescents – group 3 with DMF indices of 4.9 and 6.8, respectively; group 4 contained adolescents without caries. Results . The analysis of caries intensity and permanent enamel demineralization areas in adolescents and the main markers of mixed saliva mineralization revealed a correlation between the activity of the initial carious lesions and the calcium and phosphate metabolism. Conclusions . Evaluating the principal markers of calcium and phosphorus metabolism is relevant for the risk assessment of the cariogenic situation or enamel demineralization development in adolescents and preventive treatment planning.
