title: [The effect of Kislovodsk narzan mineral water on dental caries incidence and intensity and on periodontal status].
abstract: Effects of drinking Kislovodsk narzan water on the status of hard dental tissues and periodontium are assessed. A total of 540 residents of Kislovodsk of both sexes aged 20 to 59 were examined, 270 of these having contacts with narzan and drinking it for many years and 270 ones who had no contacts with this water and did not regularly drink it. A total of 150 intact human teeth were examined after being kept in tubes with narzan, normal saline, or 0.3 carbon dioxide for 30 days (the solutions in tubes were daily replaced). The results brought the authors to a conclusion that Kislovodsk narzan is a caries-static agent which, if indicated, may be effectively used for the treatment of periodontal inflammations.
