Dental diseases remain one of the most widespread chronic health problems among the general population, especially among adolescents. The study aims to assess the prevalence and structure of dental diseases among girls of puberty age and to identify the socio-hygienic and behavioral factors influencing their occurrence. A total of 1,580 adolescent girls from Urgench city, Bogot, and Yangibozor districts were examined through dental and sociological methods. The results showed that dental caries and periodontal diseases are predominant, and their distribution strongly depends on living conditions, dietary habits, and oral hygiene awareness. These findings emphasize the importance of preventive measures and public health programs focused on adolescent oral health.
