DIFFERENTIATED APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF CROWDED TEETH WITH A DEFICIT OF SPACE IN THE DENTITION BASED ON THE THICKNESS COEFFICIENT OF THE COMPACT PLATE OF THE CENTRAL TEETH

Abstract

This paper proposes a self diagnostic method when crowding of the teeth in the Central Department of the dentition, by a preliminary examination of the jaw of a patient using biometric methods, including identification of the significant parameters of the condition of the teeth, the measurement of apical bases of the jaws, the processing of data and recommendations for a rational plan of treatment. Purpose. To study the method of diagnosis of dentoalveolar anomalies in the crowded position of the teeth in the central part of the dentition. Materials and methods. During the examination of patients, a computed tomography of the jaws was performed. The thickness of the cortical plate from the oral and vestibular sides, as well as the thickness of the roots of the central teeth were measured. For each central tooth parameters are determined and the coefficient of thickness of the compact plate of the central teeth k is calculated. According to the results of studies, the method of treatment of patients is determined. Results. Patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the results of the examination. 1 group of patients - orthodontic treatment was carried out; 2 group - separation of the anterior teeth was carried out; 3 group - extraction method of treatment. Conclusion. The proposed method allows you to choose the best way to orthodontic treatment of patients with a crowded position of the teeth removable or fixed structures of devices, as well as justification for the removal of teeth.
