[Some causes of systemic demineralization of dental solid tissues in children of early age].
Among the risk factors causing generalized demineralisation of dental solid tissues in young kids (disturbances during antenatal development of embryo, frequent sickness of infant, etc.) the most important factor is the type of breath feeding of infant. Such factors as the good balance of calcium and phosphor in mother's milk contribute to the maintenance of healthy dental tissues. As our data shows in majority of kids (98%) with artificial feeding type, calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood serum and their rate (<1.30) were decreased, along with that hydrogen ion concentration in oral fluids was also decreased. All above mentioned has influence on physical-chemical reactions occurring in tooth enamel, increases enamel penetration and reduces buffer characteristics of oral fluids. Those problems are especially important for Georgia, where the level of fluoride in the drinking water is very low (0.35-0.45 mg/l).
