The percent of high caries activity children of central kindergarten was higher than peripheral by 25,2% (p<0.01) and of high buffer capacity children was lower by 21,9%, respectively (p>0.05). Children with high salivary flow rate were 3.2% in central kindergarten and 0% in peripheral. The mean±SD of body weight (p<0.05) and height (p>0.05) of boys were 15.2±2.2kg and 97.0±6.0cm, of gils 15.9±1.9kg and 97.6±5.8cm, of caries free children 15.9±1.5kg аnd 97.0±5.4cm, and of children with caries 15.6±2.1kg and 97.4±5.4cm (p>0.05), respectively.
