The improvement of the providing system of dental health of teenagers

Abstract

Relevance. Forming of dental health of child population is one of the key problems of stomatology at the modern stage. Purpose. To determine the efficiency of comprehensive prevention and treatment measures on dental status of teenagers being at different stages of orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods. 68 children at the age of 15 with pathology of dentoalveolar system being at the preparation stage and at the beginning stages of the orthodontic treatment were examined. The first group included 22 patients with abnormalities of soft tissue at the surgical preparation stage; 19 patients of the second group had accompanying hearing and speech impairments in need of orthodontic treatment at the therapeutic preparation; 27 patients of the third group were at the beginning stages of orthodontic treatment with integral technique. Intensity and the rate of tooth decay intensity, indexes Silness-Loe, РМА (C. Parma, 1960), SBI, physicochemical properties of saliva (secretion speed, saliva surface tension, pH potential) as well and Tooth-Enamel Resistance test were defined. Results. Children of 15 years old with pathology of dentition system displayed high degree of decay intensity 0,63 ± 0,05, low degree of oral hygiene (1,861 ± 0,102 points by Silness-Loe, PI index), mild degree of gingivitis by РМА index 14,22 ± 1,18% and increase degree of bleeding (SBI 0,111 ± 0,0083 points) on the background of changing of rheological properties of saliva (secretion speed, saliva surface tension) and its pH potential 6,62 ± 0,076. The efficiency of use of parodontax line of hygiene products was studied. Conclusions. The usage of the complex of prevention and treatment measures with inclusion of parodontax toothpastes and the mouth rinses at different stages of orthodontic treatment of the teenagers normalizes hygienic condition of cavity, stabilizes parodontal indexes on the background of reliable shift of saliva pH to alkaline side and rheological characteristics of saliva.
