Summary
To study the dental status and correction of the hygienic status of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) 124 children with ASD were examined, the comparison group included 54 normotypical children. Children with ASD (observation group), were divided into 2 groups (by age – from 3 to 5 years 6 months and from 5 years 7 months to 9 years) and four subgroups (by the means of correcting the hygienic status used – Splat foam and Baktoblis oral probiotic).
When comparing the age and reason for first to the dentist, a significant difference was found for normotypical children and children with autism: the age of first visit to the dentist for children with autism was 3,9±1,6 years, and for normotypical children 2,9±1,5 years (p<0.0001).
In children with autism the number of extracted and carious teeth was 2,5–3 times higner than in normotypical children (p <0.0001).
The Fedorov-Volodkina hygienic index in groups of older children with autism was 2,6 times higher than in normotypical children.
Against the background of the application of probiotic «Baktoblis» and foam «Splat» platinum a reliable decrease in the amount of plaque Pristley was noted already after 1 month
In the older groups, the use of foam “Splat” for 3 months gave a more significant result. In both groups, in the older groups, against the background of the use of foam and probiotic, a reliable decrease in the Fyodorov-Volodkina index was noted.

Keywords: dental status, caries, autistic disorders index, oral hygiene index.
