Material and methods. The oral hygienic state of 165 children from 3 to 12 years old living on the territory of the Nikolo-Solbinsky Convent of the Pereslavl Eparchy of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) Religious Organization and the State Institution of the Yaroslavl Region Pereslavl-Zalessky Sanatorium Orphanage was determined using the developed automated integrative program, assessing the Fedorov-Volodkina hygiene index, the simplified oral hygiene index, the PMA index in the Parma modification, the CPI index, data on the presence of orthodontic appliances in the oral cavity and its hygienic state. Results. The “Assessment of the hygienic state of the child’s oral cavity” software program was developed, and an integrative assessment of the level of oral hygiene was carried out based on the results of the dental examination. According to the internal scoring system, the program defines the condition of the child’s oral cavity as: good, satisfactory, unsatisfactory, poor and very poor. Depending on the level of oral hygiene of the child, the program includes recommendations for both improving the hygienic condition and planning of the dental treatment for the child. According to the results of the survey, good condition was not registered in any of the children, unsatisfactory and poor hygienic condition prevailed in all age groups, which indicates the need for a comprehensive prevention and treatment program for the examined children.
Conclusion. The use of the developed computer program allows to carry out an integrative assessment of the level of hygiene and oral cavity condition in children and to determine the main ways to improve its effectiveness.
