Abstract
We studied the prevalence and intensity of dental caries among children in the cities of Makhachkala and Kazan, which differ in the content of fluoride in drinking water.
The frequency of dental caries was determined in 617 children (in Makhachkala - 332 children, in Kazan - 285) aged 5-8 years. All children were divided into 4 age groups. Caries lesion intensity was established by calculating the CP index for deciduous teeth, CPU and CP - for a changeable bite. Caries prevalence was expressed as a percentage of the total number of examined children.
