Abstract.
Objectives. To assess the status of teeth and some laboratory parameters of the saliva in children with phenylketonuria, to analyze the mineral composition of the tooth enamel and saliva in this category of patients.
Material and methods. The incidence of tooth decay, the physicochemical properties of the saliva (pH, buffer capacity, the concentration of calcium and phosphorus), the mineral composition of the enamel as well as the state of the immune system of the oral cavity were evaluated in 97 children with phenylketonuria and 97 practically healthy children aged from 2 to 18 years. The data were analyzed by means of the program Statistica 10.0 using the χ2-test and the t- Student test.
Results. The state of dental hard tissues as well as physicochemical properties of the saliva were significantly worse in children with phenylketonuria than in practically healthy children.
Conclusions. A complex of individualized preventive measures aimed at the increase of the enamel caries resistance and the improvement of the condition of periodontal tissues is needed for children with phenylketonuria, which should be started at their pre-school age.
Key words: dental caries, saliva, pH, buffer capacity, immunoglobulins, phenylketonuria.
