| Summary: | The purpose of the study is to determine the prevalence of filling defects in temporary teeth and their loss when made from different restorative materials in children living in the lowland and mountain areas of the Transcarpathia in the dynamics of observation.
Materials and methods. A content analysis of medical records, including 520 medical records of a dental patient (form 043) of the children's population of Transcarpathia, was conducted and the presence of 710 filled temporary teeth that were treated in the period 2018-2022 was determined. Determination of repeat visits due to the appearance of filling defects, tooth sensitivity, or filling loss. Follow-up periods were 6 and 12 months. Statistical analysis was performed using the computer program STATISTICA 6.1 to estimate probabilities and errors.
The results. The rates of defects and loss of glass ionomer cement fillings in children living in mountainous areas are significantly higher than in children living in flat areas, namely after 6 months (5.4%; 3.4%; p<0.05) and after 12 months (10.0%; 6.9%; p<0.05). The frequency of loss or defects of compomer fillings in children living in mountainous areas is significantly different from that in children living in flat areas, namely after 6 months (2.6%; 1.4%; p>0.05) and after 12 months (8.0%; 6.2%; p>0.05). The rates of loss or defects of fillings made of light-curing composite materials in children living in mountainous areas do not differ significantly from those in children living in flat areas, namely after 6 months (3.8%; 2.8%; p>0.05) and after 12 months (8.4%; 6.6%; p>0.05).
Conclusion. In children living in the plains, the percentage of glass ionomer cement, composite and compomer fillings that fell out or were defective after 6 months was (3.4%, 2.8%, 1.4%, p>0.05), and after 12 months (6.9%, 6.6%, 6.2%, p>0.05). In children from mountainous areas, the percentages were (5.4%, 3.8%, 2.6%, p>0.05) after 6 months, and after 12 months (10.0%, 8.4%, 8.0%, p>0.05).
