title: [Stomatological studies on board of an "airspace" station].
abstract: The status of the oral organs was evaluated in normal subjects exposed for a long (30-262 days) time to conditions simulating an airspace flight in an on-land experimental complex (Sphinx-99 experiment). Stomatological studies were carried out in 15 volunteers aged 28-48 years. The initial (before "flight") and post-flight examination included clinical examination of the maxillofacial area and oral organs, evaluation of the intensity of caries by the CDL index, evaluation of the periodontal tissue status by the PMA and SPITN indexes. Based on the data, we singled out periods of adaptation characteristic of the oral organs under conditions of long enclosure. The results allow prediction of the course of diseases of the oral organs under extreme conditions and recommend methods of purposeful prevention in certain terms.
