ESTIMATION OF THE DENTAL STATUS IN PERSONS IN THE INVESTIGATIVE INSULATOR

Abstract

This study assessed the level of dental health in the special contingent, identified the main factors that had a negative impact on the condition of the prisoners' oral cavity, the main diseases of the oral cavity, and also revealed a high prevalence of HIV infection and hepatitis among them. Analyzing the survey data of 150 prisoners in the remand prison, the following conclusion can be drawn. For the most part, persons in prison have a low social status and a high level of dental morbidity. Caries, periodontal diseases, leukoplakia, xerostomia were noted among the most common diseases of the oral cavity. In prisons, inmates are exposed to a number of factors that have a negative impact on their oral health and the body as a whole. The high prevalence of HIV and hepatitis among them also affects the oral health of prisoners. In the course of the study, it was found that the prevalence of leukoplakia (K13.2) is 40% (N = 60), xerostomia (K11.7) - 32% (N = 48), the prevalence of periodontal disease (K05.3) among prisoners is 76% (N = 114), caries was diagnosed in every prisoner patient in the study group. Due to the lack of the necessary resources in the medical institutions of the SIZO, it is impossible to give a full assessment of the prevalence and intensity of various dental diseases among prisoners in comparison with those at large. In this regard, the results of our research should make it possible to develop a program to optimize dental care in the system of the Federal Service for the Execution of Punishments, to contribute to an increase in the level of dental health among persons in penitentiary institutions.
