title: [Dental morbidity in 15-17-year-old schoolchildren living in a large industrial city].
abstract: The paper deals with the influence of different hygienic factors on the dental health status of 15-17-year-old schoolchildren living in Volgograd areas that have different levels of anthropogenic load. There has been a significantly higher prevalence of major dental diseases (caries, periodontal pathology, dentognatic anomalies, non-caries dentopathy) in schoolchildren who live in high anthropogenically loaded areas. Ranging of the factors has established that inadequate knowledge and skills of schoolchildren in personal oral hygiene, no motivation to preserve their dental health, and poor health and ecology are of priority in relation to the degree of their influence of their dental health.
