ABSTRACT

Early diagnosis of oral diseases and the prediction of their progression represent a pressing issue in contemporary dentistry, particularly when it concerns children with severe somatic conditions. Understanding the dental status of incurable pediatric patients contributes to the normalization of their overall health. Investigating the specific features of their dental status aids in the prevention of oral diseases among children undergoing palliative care. Subject. Data on the prevalence and manifestations of oral diseases in children receiving palliative treatment. Objective. Systematization of data, review existing knowledge, research, and statistical data regarding the dental status of pediatric patients undergoing palliative care. Materials and Methods. The study was conducted based on a search and analysis of original articles on oral diseases in incurable pediatric patients. The following databases were utilized: Russian State Library, eLibrary, PubMed, The Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar. Material selection was performed using keywords. Publications from 2014 to 2024, available in full text, were considered and evaluated for relevance. The search depth spanned 10 years. Results. Incurable patients exhibit specific characteristics in their dental development and disease patterns, with periodontal diseases being the most prevalent. Conclusions. The oral health of children undergoing palliative care remains insufficiently studied and examined. Further systematization and research of these data will contribute to the development of clear algorithms for oral care in this group of patients.
