“…Карієс зубів сьогодні належить до групи найпоширеніших захворювань у світі та має виражену тенденцію до зростання, незважаючи на стрімкий розвиток стоматологічної науки, сучасних можливостей і медичних технологій [6,7,13]. Розвиток каріозних уражень, за даними різних авторів, спричиняють різноманітні чинникипорушення складу ротової рідини та факторів захисту порожнини рота, особливості харчування та територія проживання, мінеральний склад та якість вживаних продуктів і питної води, спосіб життя та фізична активність, а також загальний стан організму, оскільки соматичне та стоматологічне здоров'я перебувають у тісному взаємозв'язку [1,5,8,9,14].…”

Annotation. Dental caries is currently one of the most widespread diseases globally and demonstrates a pronounced tendency to increase, despite the rapid development of dental science, modern capabilities, and medical technologies. The cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) is among the most vulnerable areas to carious processes. The aim of our study was to determine the frequency of carious lesions at the CEJ of teeth in various age groups among residents of Lviv region. The randomized group of examined patients included 200 individuals of mature age (100 men and 100 women) seeking dental care at the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry and the therapeutic department of the Dental Center of Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University. CEJ caries was detected in 29.5% of the total examined population, including 32% of examined men and 27% of examined women. Among the examined individuals, 99.5% had carious cavities localized on the buccal surfaces of the teeth, while circular lesions of tooth 44 were found in 0.5% of patients. The frequency of CEJ caries in the upper and lower jaws was equal in women, while in men, it varied minimally. In men, the right side of the teeth was more frequently affected, while in women, the frequency of lesions on the right side of the upper jaw and the left side of the lower jaw was more than twice as high as the frequency of lesions on the opposite side. In men, CEJ caries most often affected the first premolars, canines, second premolars and lateral incisors. In women, the affected teeth were the first premolars, second premolars and canines. The least observed were lesions of CEJ caries in the molars. In terms of the percentage distribution of affected teeth, premolars constituted the largest proportion, while molars had the smallest share. The ratio of specific portions of affected teeth in different groups in men and women has features characteristic of individuals of each sex with asymmetry of lesions more pronounced in women.

Background Cytokines play an important role in the immunopathogenesis of dental caries. A systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out with the following three objectives: 1)To deepen and discuss through a comprehensive analysis of the literature the effects of dental caries on the activity and levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 in saliva of children and young adults, 2)To compare the levels of this cytokines in saliva of the exposure group (moderate-severe dental caries) with the control group (caries-free or mild dental caries), and 3)To determine whether the levels of these cytokines could be used as a complementary clinical diagnostic tool to assess the severity of dental caries. Methods The protocol followed PRISMA and Cochrane guidelines and was registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF): https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/MF74V. A digital search was performed in PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane, Scopus, and Google Schoolar databases from February 15th, 2012, to January 13th, 2024. The methodological validity of the selected studies was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) tool. A meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model to evaluate the association between dental caries/health, and the concentration of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8. Results The search strategy provided a total of 126 articles, of which 15 investigations met the inclusion criteria. The total number of patients studied was 1,148, of which 743 represented the case/exposure group, and 405 represented the control group. The age of the patients ranged from 3 to 25 years. IL-6 was the most prevalent cytokine in the saliva of children and young adults with active dental caries. The meta-analysis revealed that there are significant differences between the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in saliva of children with active dental caries compared to their control groups. Conclusions The findings suggest that IL-6 and TNF-α levels may have potential as complementary biomarkers for assessing dental caries severity. However, further research is needed to validate these findings in larger and more diverse populations before clinical application.
