Thorough epidemiologic studies are the basis for the development of effective methods and means of primary prevention of dental caries in children. With this aim in view, we examined 21,035 children living in various rural and urban regions of west Siberia. The duration of their stay in the Extreme North was taken account of, as well as levels of fluoride, selenium, and other odontotropic substances in drinking water and other biogeographical factors over the recent one or two decades. The study demonstrated an increasing incidence and intensity of caries, particularly so in the rural regions, which is due to insufficient primary and secondary prophylactic measures. The highest incidence and intensity of the disease were observed in the residents of Tyumen Province. For improving the prevention of dental diseases it is necessary that epidemiological factors in the studied regions be taken into consideration.
全面的流行病学研究是开发儿童龋齿一级预防有效方法和手段的基础。鉴于此目标，我们对生活在西西伯利亚不同城乡地区的21,035名儿童进行了检查。考虑了他们在极北地区的停留时间，以及近一二十年来饮用水中氟化物、硒和其他促牙物质的含量水平以及其他生物地理因素。研究表明龋齿的发病率和严重程度呈上升趋势，农村地区尤为如此，这是由于一级和二级预防措施不足所致。秋明州居民中该病的发病率和严重程度最高。为了改进牙科疾病的预防工作，有必要考虑所研究地区的流行病学因素。
