A NEW APPROACH TO PRIMARY AND SECONDARY PREVENTION OF DENTAL DISEASES IN CHEMICAL INDUSTRY WORKERS

Abstract

The question of the negative impact of some industries on the oral cavity remains relevant. The relationship of the high prevalence of non-carious lesions of the teeth, oral mucosa with such production processes as oil and gas production, metallurgy, chemical production, bakery and confectionery production has been proved (Leonova L.E. et al., 2011; Leontiev A.A. et al., 2009; Makeev A.A. et al., 2011). Dental health contributes to the preservation of the ability to work of an important part of the country's population – workers of industrial enterprises, especially since a number of studies convincingly reveal the role of the dental system in the general state of the body.
