The study included employees aged 35–44 years (<italic>n</italic> = 56) who were exposed to hazardous occupational factors.</p> <p><bold>RESULTS:</bold><bold> </bold>The study revealed an unsatisfactory oral health status, characterized by a high prevalence of partial edentulism (28.6%) and inadequate prosthetic rehabilitation (14.3%), together with the absence of preventive dental examinations as part of mandatory occupational medical examinations. A pronounced discrepancy was identified between workers’ high self-reported oral health status and the number of self-reported dental complaints, as well as between their willingness to pay for prosthetic treatment and their low engagement in preventive dental practices. A substantial prevalence of chronic systemic diseases was observed, predominantly disorders of the musculoskeletal system (17.9%) and gastrointestinal tract (14.3%). Significant associations were found between certain occupational exposures and health disorders.</p> <p><bold>CONCLUSION:</bold><bold> </bold>Self-reported general and oral health among cement plant workers exposed to hazardous working conditions highlights the need for a comprehensive evaluation of oral health status, followed by the development of an integrated preventive and curative program aimed at maintaining work ability among employees of the studied plant.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование. </bold>Углублённое изучение стоматологического здоровья и мотивации к профилактическим и лечебным мероприятиям, в том числе у работников цементных производств, позволит осуществить комплексную оценку данной проблемы, включающую субъективный анализ жалоб, и выявить ключевые точки для разработки целевой профилактической программы.</p> <p><bold>Цель. </bold>Оценка стоматологического здоровья и мотивированности к лечению у работников цементного производства с вредными условиями труда в Чеченской республике (по данным анкетирования).</p> <p><bold>Методы. </bold>С применением специально разработанной анкеты проведено анкетирование работников Чири-Юртовского цементного завода (Чеченская Республика, Россия) в возрастной когорте 35–44 лет (<italic>n</italic> = 56), подвергающихся воздействию вредных производственных факторов.</p> <p><bold>Результаты. </bold>Выявлен неудовлетворительный уровень стоматологического здоровья, характеризующийся распространённостью частичной адентии (28,6%) и неудовлетворительного зубного протезирования (14,3%) при одновременном отсутствии профилактического осмотра врачом-стоматологом в программе медицинских осмотров. Установлено выраженное расхождение между высокой субъективной оценкой стоматологического здоровья и количеством отмеченных стоматологических жалоб, а также между готовностью к платному протезированию и низкой активностью работников в отношении профилактики стоматологических заболеваний. Выявлена значительная распространённость хронических заболеваний, преимущественно опорно-двигательного аппарата (17,9%) и желудочно-кишечного тракта (14,3%). Статистически значима связь между отдельными производственными факторами и нарушениями здоровья.</p> <p><bold>Заключение. </bold>Субъективная оценка работниками цементного производства с вредными условиями труда своего общего и стоматологического здоровья раскрывает необходимость комплексного анализа состояния полости рта с последующей разработкой лечебно-профилактической программы, направленной на сохранение трудоспособности работников обследованного предприятия.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>oral health</kwd><kwd>occupational hazards</kwd><kwd>occupational medicine</kwd><kwd>questionnaire survey</kwd><kwd>cement industry</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>стоматологическое здоровье</kwd><kwd>профессиональные вредности</kwd><kwd>медицина труда</kwd><kwd>анкетирование</kwd><kwd>цементное производство</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Kislitsyna AV.
