title: [The assessment of the stomatological status of children living in radionuclide-contaminated areas].
abstract: Dental status of 1051 children aged 3 to 13 living at Byelorussian territories polluted by radionuclides (Gomel and Mogilev districts) was examined in 1993-1994. Examinations revealed high incidence of caries, poor oral hygiene, high incidence of various pathological shifts in the buccal mucosa and red lips. The temperature and nonspecific resistance of the mucosa were reduced. Changes of the buccal mucosa were more expressed in younger children.
