Abstract

Purpose. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the prevalence of gingival changes in schoolchildren.Material and method: In order to achieve the goal set in the survey, 180 respondents were surveyed, including pupils aged from 6 to 14 of both sexes, with different national backgrounds. All respondents were divided into two groups: pupils with deciduous dentition from 6 to 10 years of age and schoolchildren with mixed dentition from 11 to 14 years of age. Given the fact that the respondents were juveniles, a written consent from the parents was requested, which ensured the permission to use the surveyed information for scientific -research purposes.Results: According to Index of gingival inflammation (IGI) by Silness&Loe, there was a stronger impact of soft plaque on teeth after the Greene-Vermillion index (Beta=0.35 than hard dental plaque according to the Greene-Vermillion index (Beta=0.09).Conclusion: In all of our respondents, the state of gingival health is at an unsatisfactory level. The intensity of the inflammatory changes of the gingiva is strongly influenced by the accumulation of soft plaque of the teeth (dental plaque).
