Introduction. The study of the epidemiology of stomatological diseases among the children is at the heart of the planning and organization of dental care for children. The aim of the study. Identify the needs of children and adolescents in the Transcarpathian region in preventive and therapeutic dental care. Materials and methods. A dental epidemiological survey of the children’s population was carried out in Uzhhorod, Mukachevo, Perechyn, Khust, Berehove, Tyachiv and Rakhiv districts. As a result of the epidemiological study 760 people in the age groups: 6, 12, 15 years were examined. The research is devoted to the study of the needs of children and adolescents in Transcarpathia in the provision of dental care. As a result of the epidemiological study 760 people in the age groups: 6, 12, 15 years were examined. Results of the research and their discussion. The prevalence of dental caries in children aged 6 and 15 years is estimated to be high, and at 12 years of age it is an average. Analysis of the indicators of individual lesion of tooth decay showed that every child at the age of 6 years has a 4.42 ± 0.02, at the age of 12 years– by 2.2 ± 0.03, and at the age of 15 years– by 3.38 ± 0.03 carious teeth. Hygiene of the oral cavity in children of all age groups is satisfactory. The state of periodontal tissues according to the KPI index in children 12 and 15 years is assessed as a risk of disease. The level of dental care for children aged 6 years– unsatisfactory, at the age of 12 years– satisfactory, at the age of 15 years– is good. Conclusions. Children aged 6 and 15 living in areas of Transcarpathia have high, and at the age of 12 years the average prevalence of caries. Intensity of caries is estimated as average. Hygiene of oral cavity in children of all age groups is satisfactory. The task of health workers, in addition to medical help should be regular sanitary-hygienic education of the population, and especially children, to develop their skills in sustainable oral care.
