Abstract

Objective: Analysis of vitamin D effect on the course of caries process in children of Khabarovsk territory. Methods: 785 children aged 3–8 years were examined. The prevalence, intensity of caries of temporary teeth and oral hygiene were calculated. The concentration of calcium and alkaline phosphatase was determined in the oral fluid; calcium and vitamin 25(OH)D were determined in the blood serum. Results: An inverse correlation between the degree of activity of dental caries and the concentration of vitamin D in blood serum (r = –0.93) was determined. Deficiency of vitamin D and ionized calcium was detected in blood serum as well as reduction of calcium and alkaline phosphatase in oral fluid. Conclusions: Making a plan of preventive care and treatment of caries of temporary teeth in children, it is necessary to consider dental health, caries activity and general diseases taking into account the effect of vitamin D on the mineral exchange.
