FLUOROSIS OF PRIMARY TEETH: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
Subject. Foreign and domestic studies on fluorosis of primary teeth. Dental fluorosis is a malformation in which the structure of hard dental tissues of the teeth changes during their formation due to excessive fluoride intake. There are many studies on fluorosis of permanent teeth. Problems associated with fluorosis of primary teeth are covered much less frequently. An analysis of such studies is presented in this review. Objectives. Analysis of foreign and domestic studies on fluorosis of primary teeth. Methodology. The search for publications was carried out on the PubMed platform, in the eLibrary electronic library and in the MEDLINE databases, according to the specified keywords. In the course of the research, an independent search and analysis of scientific articles was carried out, as well as their systematization and ordering in the reference lists of literature. Results. During the analysis of literary sources it was revealed that fluorosis also occurs in prinary teeth, the prevalence of the disease in some countries was determined, the features of fluorosis in prinary teeth and the factors of its occurrence were identified. The main problems have been identified in the form of a lack of data on methods of prevention of caries of primary teeth and features of its treatment in children living in the endemic zone of fluorosis. Conclusion. The analysis of the available literature sources shows that the topic of fluorosis of primary teeth is insufficiently covered. In foci of endemic fluorosis, along with fluorosis of permanent teeth, fluorosis of temporary teeth is also found. In primary teeth, a mild and very mild degree of fluorosis is more often observed. The most pronounced changes are visualized on the teeth of the chewing group, especially on the primary second molars, which are formed at later stages of development. This pattern may indicate that fluorosis of primary teeth is mainly due to postnatal exposure to fluoride. Fluorosis of primary teeth can be a predictor of fluorosis of permanent teeth. Dental fluorosis is an important medical and social problem that requires further study and updating of treatment and preventive measures.
