On the basis of clinical and experimental studies of 64 cases of children after tonsillectomy quantitative distribution of CD 3 positive T-lymphocytes in tonsillar tissue during the various degrees of activity of dental caries have been studied. The research established quantitative peculiarities of CD 3 positive T lymphocytes in different zones of tonsils in case of dental caries. It was revealed that depending on the degree of caries activity the quantity of CD 3+ T lymphocytes considerably increases in the tonsillar zone of lympho-epithelial symbiosis. Results of the study allow us to conceive the role of T-lymphocytes in the accomplishment of primary and secondary immune reactions in the palatine tonsil, which gives us certain basis to evaluate in a right way the role of chronic pathologies of palatine tonsils in the pathogenesis of dental caries.
