title: [Microbiocenosis of oral cavity in patients from different age groups].
abstract: Worsening of state of oral cavity is observed not only in elderly persons, but also in adults aswell as in adolescents and children. The leading role in development of dental caries and periodontal diseases belongs to microorganisms. Oral cavity bacterial landscape was determined in adolescents, adults and elderly people with normal periodont or with gingivitis or periodontitis. The study showed that species and qualitative composition of oral cavity microflora were different in different age groups. In patients with normal periodont, non pathogenic (common commensals) microbial composition was revealed. In abnormal state of oral cavity, its microflora was characterized by the presence of high titers of potentiality pathogenic microorganisms.
