Relevance. The main thing in the prevention of acute odontogenic infection in sailors during long voyages is the full implementation of the pre-voyage sanitation of the oral cavity, which provides for the elimination of chronic foci of odontogenic infection.The aimof the study was to identify chronic foci of odontogenic infection in sailors after the completion of their prevoyage sanitation of the oral cavity and before going sailing.Material and methods. Dental and X-ray (orthopantomography) examination of 169 men aged 22 to 52 years after completion of dental treatment (oral cavity sanitation) before a long sea voyage was carried out, followed by analysis of clinical and radiological parallels to identify chronic odontogenic foci of infection, which can be a potential source of microorganisms for the development of acute odontogenic infection during swimming.Results and discussion.It was found that, despite the ongoing treatment and prophylactic work on the rehabilitation of the oral cavity with the sailors in the pre-voyage period, in 30.4-77.2% of cases they retain chronic foci of odontogenic infection during a long sea voyage, which can become the cause of the development of acute odontogenic infection. For the qualitative detection of chronic odontogenic foci of infection, it is necessary to supplement the dental examination of sailors in the pre-voyage period with an X-ray examination, which will allow timely identification and elimination of chronic odontogenic inflammation of the maxillary sinuses, as well as chronic periapical and periodontal foci of odontogenic infection.

In 2013, The IMO and ILO published the Guidelines on the medical examinations of seafarers. The ILO was responsible for the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) and IMO for the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW). The purpose of the Guidelines was to develop a document reflecting the contents of both Conventions and which will be helpful for the flag State on their implementation. Prior to the beginning work on a ship, the seafarers must hold a valid medical certificate stated that they are medically fit to perform their duties at sea. However, what kind of medical specialist should conduct such examinations and issue medical certificates? Where to find such a specialists? Only some countries offer Marine Medicine as an independent discipline on medicine faculties or as a postgraduate course on three-five days’ courses preceded by Self training preparations by materials sent to a course participant by education institution. However special training is not required. Some marine administrations require special accreditations to enable regular pre-sea examinations of sailors in preference to general practitioners, specialists in occupational disease and, in some cases, to surgeons and anesthesiologists. In some countries, it is sufcient to receive accreditation from the embassy.
