NEED IN PROPHYLACTIC AND TREATMENT OF SCHOOLCHILDREN USING OF INTERNATIONAL CARIES DETECTION AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEM

With using the index of the international caries detection and assessment system organized cariesology examination of 150 детей in the key’s age groups (6, 12, 15, 16-19 years). Herewith examined all surfaces of each teeth. For estimation of the depth of the carious defeat used the following codes: 0 - health surface of the teeth; 1 - an initial changes of enamel (visible after long drying by air); 2 - an evident visible changes of enamel; 3 - a carious cavity within enamel; 4 - subjecting to darkening shade in dentine; 5 - an evident cavity within dentine; 6 - an extensive cavity in dentine, possible involvement of the pulp. In undertaking given of medical-preventive action of cariesology nature need 96.9%, 99.3%, 95.9% and 98.4% schoolchildren accordingly in the age groups of 6, 12, 15 and 16-19 years. Results of the study have shown high need for invasive treatment of carious cavities amongst examined person. Using the criterion of the the index of the international caries detection and assessment system allows to conduct the early diagnostics of the carious defeats and prevent progressing initial caries in stage, requiring uninvasive of the treatment.
