title: [The morbidity of deciduous tooth caries and the need for prophylactic prosthesis in preschoolers with functional stomach disorders].
abstract: The dental status of 335 preschool children with gastric dysfunction and of 800 children living in the same region was under study. The masticatory system abnormalities were found related to the diseases of the digestive organs, with gastric dysfunction among other thing, in the examined preschool children. The intensity of carious involvement of deciduous teeth in the children with gastric dysfunction was found higher than in the reference examinees (6.04 +/- 0.28 vs. 4.99 +/- 0.13, respectively). The carious process progressed more rapidly, complications were more incident, and the deciduous teeth had to be removed earlier in the children with gastric dysfunction, this necessitating prophylactic treatment of this population. A total of 34.33% of children suffering from this condition are in need of treatment for denture defects.
