Tooth decay is considered one of the most common dental problems during this period, which can lead to pain, infection, interference with food intake, and ultimately worsen the impact on permanent teething. These manifestations can range from demineralization to loss of tooth structure or complete destruction of the crown, a process of dynamic and active decay characterized by different periods of destruction and recovery. Until now, there has been no clinical assessment of the effectiveness of treatment and preventive measures, which includes the dietary supplement "Minerol" and toothpaste "Minerol" on the dental status of 6-7 years old children with caries of teeth. The research is relevant for modern pediatric dentistry. The aim of the work was a clinical assessment of the effectiveness of using the developed therapeutic and preventive complex in children 6-7 years old with dental caries. Materials and methods. 55 patients took part in the clinical study – 6-7 year-old children with dental caries (30 people – the main group, 25 people – the comparison group). When evaluating the action of the proposed treatment and prevention complex, the following was used: caries prevention efficiency, which is calculated by the increase in the DFMT index for 1 year of observation. The hygienic state of the oral cavity was determined dynamically using the Silness-Loe and Stallard indices. The comparison group received basic therapy (sanitation of the oral cavity, professional hygiene and training in personal hygiene skills). The main group of patients, in addition to the basic therapy, received the developed treatment and prevention complex. Conclusion. The treatment-prophylactic complex for 6-7 year-old children aged with dental caries, developed on the basis of experimental studies, made it possible to slow down the carious process and normalize hygienic indices at all stages of treatment.
