Has been detected that in 9 years old children with chronic tonsillitis the clinical course of dental caries and clinical course of active form of dental caries has a strong resemblance, which is confirmed by the relatively increased indices of primary and permanent teeth caries spread and intensity (DMF, df). In children with chronic tonsillitis (29) significant changes in dental plaque microbial ecosystem were detected compared to children with intact tonsils (28). Aforesaid changes first of all were expressed by increased indices of cariogenic microorganisms' inoculation that was statistically reliable. In both clinical groups statistically reliable correlation between immunoglobulins' containment in fluid of oral cavity and dental caries intensity has not been detected.
