| Research Abstract |
From1949 to 1989, 30 surface, 88 atmospheric and 340 underground nuclear and thermonuclear explosions of nuclear weapons were carried out by former Soviet Union at the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site (SNTS) in Kazakhstan that resulted in high local fallout affecting the residents in the villages adjacent to the SNTS. The radiation effect on predisposition of oral and maxillofacial disorders among the exposed people from the SNTS areas remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to investigate a possible relationship between long-term radiation exposure by nuclear testing and predisposition of Oral maxillofacial anomalies such as Cleft lip & Palate (CLP) and oral diseases such as periodontitis. In conclusion, this study strongly suggests that the inhabitants in exposed villages adjacent to SNTS might be considered a population at risk for high prevalence oforal & maxillofacial lesions. It is possible that this heightened risk resulted from long-term radiation exposure.
