title: [Antenatal factors of caries susceptibility formation in children].
abstract: The role of the intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) in the remodeling of a fetal parotid gland at late pregnancy has been presented in the paper. Thirty fetal parotid glands at 20-22 weeks gestation, including, 20--with IUGR and 10--at physiological pregnancy (control) were studied morphologically and morphometrically. Results have shown violations of gland's growth and differentiation, increased volume fraction of pathologic changes. Above mentioned processes may cause salivary glands' dysfunction, which eventually could result in child's dental caries.
