The problem of dental health among Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel is studied by military dentistry, a special branch of medicine that deals with the organisation of dental care for military personnel in times of peace and war. Staff dentists in brigades mainly provide emergency care, as it is not possible to carry out full dental treatment in combat conditions.The aim of this work is to analyse national literary sources on the state of the oral cavity in Ukrainian military personnel and the factors influencing the development of caries, caries complications and periodontal diseases.Studies have shown that a large percentage of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel require dental care. Today, there is a need for routine oral sanitation of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers, as oral diseases negatively affect the physical and mental health of military personnel.
