Aim. To study the association between the prevalence of caries and the uorine load in children according to uoride in the urine. Materials and methods . Fluoride level examination was conducted among 45 patients aged 3,6,12,15 years old. The assessment of the intensity of dental caries was carried out according to the KPU / kp index as recommended by WHO (1997). Dental examination in children was carried out in the Scientic Clinical Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery of the Ministry of Health and SZN of the Republic of Tajikistan, Dushanbe. Results and discussion. The uorine status of breastfed children corresponded to a low level of uoruria. In children aged 4-6 years uorine load corresponded to a low level in 15.7% of the children, the optimal level was noted in 61.6% of the children, and a high level of the trace element over 2.5 mg/day was found in 22.7% of the children. High KPU index (3.1 and 5.7, respectively), determined in those cases where there was a low level of access to uoride. Conclusion. In infants, the level of urinary uoride excretion depends on the feeding pattern. The level of uoruria in (60.0%) children aged 12 years and (66.6%) 15 years old was below the standard indicators. The intensity of caries in 15-year-old children was higher than in 12-year-old children.
