According to the requirements of WHO, 1095 children of 6,12 and 15 years old from 10 localities were inspected, 887 of which lived in 8 localities with a content of fluoride in drinking water exceeding 1.5 mg/1. Prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis in children were accordingly: at 6 years of age - 81.77% and 1.73 ± 0.53; at 12 years - 82.57% and 2.22 ± 0.47; at 15 years- 89.87% and 2.24 ± 0.77. The risk factors of origin of dental fluorosis in children were defined, according to which the measures of primary preventive maintenance were offered. The clinical evaluation of treatment methods of dental fluorosis in children, with application of bleaching and microhybrid composites, was performed.
