ASSESSMENT OF THE CONDITION OF HARD TISSUES OF TEETH IN PATIENTS WITH VARYING DEGREES OF PERIODONTAL TISSUE DAMAGE

Abstract

The study is devoted to the study of the state of hard tissues of teeth in patients with varying degrees of periodontal tissue damage. The study involved 63 patients aged 35-60 years with varying degrees of periodontal tissue damage who were examined at the dental clinic № 1 in Lviv. The patients were divided into different age groups: 35-39, 40-49 and 50-60 years old. To assess the condition of hard dental tissues, the indices DMFT, DMFS and their structure (caries, filling, missing teeth, and complicated caries) were used. A statistically significant difference between alternative quantitative features with a distribution corresponding to the normal law was evaluated using the Student's t-test. The difference was considered statistically significant at p<0.01. The results indicate the need for a more detailed study of the factors influencing the condition of hard tissues of teeth in patients with periodontitis. Taking into account the data obtained on the state of hard dental tissues is an important step in the development of treatment and prevention measures for patients with varying degrees of periodontal tissue damage. According to the results of the study, individual approaches to the prevention and treatment of each patient can be developed depending on age and gender.
