Assessment Of Some Functional Indicators Of The Oral Cavity Working In Tobacco Production

To date, it has been established that 70% of people involved in tobacco growing have various diseases [4,6,]. Comparison of morbidity rates with temporary disability of workers employed in tobacco growing and the control group shows that tobacco growers get sick more often than others. The number of diseases they have is 37%, and the number of days of disability is 30% higher than in other types of agricultural work [8,4,1]. Diseases of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, infectious and allergic diseases, nervous and cardiovascular systems, skin and subcutaneous tissue occupy the leading place in the structure of tobacco growers' morbidity. However, there is no information on the impact of unfavorable factors of the tobacco-growing industry on the organs and tissues of the oral cavity of workers and the corresponding therapeutic and prophylactic measures, with the exception of individual works [7,2] in the form of an article, where long-term exposure to tobacco extract under experimental conditions, combined with a single dose and a population herpes simplex virus, cause clinical and morphological changes resembling leukoplakia.
