Aim: It is the clinical and radiological evaluation of oral hygiene, teeth and surrounding tissues in children and adolescents diagnosed with FMF and comparing the results with healthy individuals. Method: Our study included patients aged 6-15, 45 with FMF (study group) and 45 healthy (control group), who were referred from Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic and evaluated at Akdeniz University Faculty of Dentistry Pedodontics Clinic. MEFV gene mutations were investigated in the study group. After recording the demographic and clinical characteristics of both groups, intraoral examinations were performed and DMFT, dft, bruxism, tooth wear due to bruxism and gingival/plaque indexes were evaluated. Saliva pH, flow rate and buffering capacity were measured. Tooth age was determined by the Cameriere method, The mesio-distal dimensions of the teeth were measured on the plaster model.
