 The article presents the results of the study on the food products influence on caries and periodontal processes using statistical methods. The information base of the study was the data obtained by surveying dental students aged 18–22 years of the medical university. Mainly, consumption of dairy products, vegetables and fruits, meat, bread, and sweets were considered as factors. The quantitative characteristic of nutrition was taken as the number of food consumption times during the week. The hypothesis that the amount of food consumption affects the state of the periodontium and the number of carious teeth in a person has been confirmed. As a result of determining the relevant dependencies, a significant influence of two food products groups – dairy and vegetables and fruits – was revealed. Directly, the dependences have a non-linear (quadratic) form, and accordingly, the optimal intervals of the products consumption are established, since both insufficient and excessive use of them negatively affects the condition of the teeth and gums. A two-factor linear statistical dependence was built to estimate the total effect of two types of food products. Regarding other products, no significant relationships were found between their use and the oral cavity condition. The conclusions of the article present the main results of the performed studies and directions for further research.

Key words: caries, periodontal disease, food products, statistical dependence, impact assessment, optimal consumption 

 The greatest influence on the teeth’ disease has two groups of products – dairy and vegetables, fruits. For boys, there are optimal limits of these products consumption, reduction or increase of them leads to an increase in the number of caries. Compared to boys for girls, the consumption’s effect is much weaker. 

 Ethic and Prophylactic Aspects of Regular Dental Examinations and Treatment in Young Patients. The number of gingivitis and periodontitis in young patients highly increased in recent decades. That is why, revelation and early treatment of periodontal diseases is important not only clinical but also ethical and psychological problem. Patient should feel himself not like a passive object in the treatment but take an active part in the process.. Being acquainted with the treatment plan, presumable duration of the treatment and its’ results, helps the patient to feel more comfortable and positive about the treatment procedures.

Kaywords: dental diseases, gingivitis, periodontitis, young patients.

При патології пародонта часто розвивається хвороблива зміна макрорельєфу ясен, яка супроводжується гіпертрофією чи рецесією ясен з оголенням коренів зубів та розвитком патології цементу. Макрорельєф контуру ясен ми характеризували терміном гінгівогліфіка. Нами досліджено, що особливості контуру та макрорельєфу ясен можуть формувати аркадний, балонуючий, сплощений та змішаний типи гінгівогліфіки. При хворобах пародонта часто формується патологічний макрорельєф контуру ясен: змішаний – 8,56%, сплощений – 6,29%, балонуючий – 4,23%, посилено-аркадний – 3,28%. Знання особливостей гінгівогліфіки дозволяє краще планувати та прогнозувати лікування пацієнтів із патологією пародонта.

 . One of the problems in standardizing Bioadhesive dental film (BDF) produced by the solvent casting method, is the use of a Casting Mould with clearly set geometrical parameters of 10.0 x 60.0 mm, when using a set volume of polymer gel. Many scientific studies dealing with the preparation of polymeric medical film fail to describe the technological equipment necessary for the manufacture of BDF (bio dental films) using the solvent casting method on a flat surface.

During the scientific development of this process, three types of devices were designed, tested and patented, these being a Casting Mould, and Perforating and Cutting Devices to be applied in the production of dental BDF using the solvent casting method.

The Casting Mould is made of a neutral glass and has the dimensions of 60 x 400 mm which allows the tie production of dental films of a standardized size using the solvent casting method. The Perforating Device results in improved perforated BDF in the process of its production. Meanwhile the Cutting Device allows the uniform distribution and cutting of the polymer film into dozaged strips with accurately specified geometrical dimensions of 10.0 x 60.0 mm.
