Popis: Aim of study - to determine the composition of the essential macro and microelements in the hair and dental hard tissues and to study the influence of their imbalance on the general and dental health of the child. To assess the state of dental hard tissues, 375 children aged 3 to 12 years were randomly examined in Batumi. Monitoring of the examined children was carried out using standard indices provided by the World Health Organization. To determine the composition of the chemical elements in hair and dental hard tissues, according to the caries status 48 children were chosen from the examined 375 children. We used X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy method to study the qualitative and quantitative content of the chemical elements in the hair and dental hard tissues. The comparative analysis of the dental experience (dmft/DMFT) and the composition of chemical elements in dental hard tissues showed a statistically significant difference depending on caries status. The effect of some essential elements on the general health of the child has also been identified. The study into the composition of the essential macro and microelements in the hair and dental hard tissues revealed a high coefficient of correlation both with the mineralization of dental hard tissues and with the general health of the growing body.
