Introduction of an integrated approach to the restoration of the occlusal surface of the crown part of the tooth with modern filling materials

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The most frequently detected dental pathology, according to the World Health Organization (2019), is dental caries, since about 97% of the worlds population suffers from this disease. The most important factors in maintaining the health of the oral cavity and maintaining the necessary level of quality of life of a dental patient are the prevention and timely treatment of caries. AIM: To develop a computerized technique for restoring the occlusal surface, taking into account the individual morphometric parameters of the patients dental crown. The task was to investigate the dimensional parameters, determine the presence and nature of the relationship between different morphometric indicators of the occlusal surface of teeth in caries-resistant men and women of young (1835 years) age. Create an innovative computer program for the mathematical substantiation of the process of restoration of the occlusal surface of the tooth, taking into account the correlations between the morphometric parameters of the crown revealed in caries-resistant persons of young age. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The objects of the study were: caries-resistant patients 82 people aged 18 to 35 years, male and female, and 106 patients, of different sex, who had carious lesions and complications of caries (pulpitis and periodontitis). RESULTS: Based on the data obtained, an innovative program for calculating the dimensional characteristics of the occlusal surface of the teeth was developed (certificate of state registration of the computer program No. 2018611780 dated 02/07/2018) and introduced. At the end of the treatment with the use of the authors and traditional methods of restoration of teeth, there is a positive dynamics of clinical indicators of the state of organs and tissues of the mouth. CONCLUSION: The created innovative program for calculating the lost tissues of the occlusal surface of the tooth allows dentists to reconstruct the hard tissues of the teeth, taking into account the individual dimensional characteristics of the patients dentition, which helps to improve the quality of dental care to the population.
