title: [Location and intensity of dental caries in patients with osteoarticular tuberculosis].
abstract: The intensity and location of carious lesions were studied in 140 patients with severe forms of osteo-articular tuberculosis aged 30-56 years. High intensity of carries and its frequent atypical location were observed during activation of the tuberculous process. Index of oral hygiene in patients with severe osteo-articular tuberculosis was 4.55+/-1.6 vs. 2.53+/-0.10 in the control group; the intensity of dental caries was also higher.
