Indicators for Assessing the Hygienic Condition of the Oral Cavity in Children Treated with Orthodontic Devices

Relevance of research. The prevalence of tooth-jawomalias is 50%. According to experts, in 92% of cases associated with tooth-jaw disorders, various unpleasant conditions are observed in the parodont area. In medical practice, the large-scale use of braces, voles, arcs that fixate teeth for the purpose of keeping them in a certain position makes it difficult for the possibilities of strict adherence to oral hygiene, which in 32.7% of cases associated with tooth-jawomalia causes damage to the hard tissue of the teeth, mainly predisposition to caries. Early diagnosis of dental caries is a difficult problem in cases where morphofunctional changes in the hard tissue of the teeth have not yet occurred, and the application of methods that allow the diagnosis of the disease by traditional functional methods is an urgent task. Worldwide, large-scale scientific research is being carried out to determine and determine the prospect of early signs of caries in children in orthodontic treatment, as well as to improve the effectiveness of diagnosis, treatment, and preventive measures. In the early stages, scientific studies are being carried out to develop the maximum close approach to the diagnosis and treatment of caries during orthodontic treatment, to obtain a stable aesthetic result in the treatment of orthodontic patients, and to reduce the number of relapses. Nevertheless, the existing methods of diagnosis are not enough, which creates a strict need for additional methods of research. In this aspect, the development of measures of diagnosis and treatment aimed at increasing the quality indicators of orthodontic care for children is becoming more important.
