Abstract

Discoloration of teeth is an urgent problem of modern dentistry. This is a very common and multifactorial pathology in nature. With this problem, patients turn to dentists of various profiles. This work analyzes the frequency of using various methods for eliminating discoloration of teeth. A survey of 50 doctors of various specializations was conducted and it was found that for the period from September to November 2020, clinical enamel whitening was carried out in 22,5% of patients with tooth discoloration, intracoronal bleaching followed by direct restoration (replacement of existing fillings with new ones) in 30%, covering the vestibular surface of the teeth located in the smile line with ceramic veneers in 22,5% and total prosthetics in 25%. The analysis showed that at present the arsenal of a dentist is quite wide and, depending on the clinical situation taking into account the wishes of the patient and his capabilities, the doctor can choose a way to eliminate the discoloration of the teeth suitable for a particular patient. In addition, the use of this problem is higher among general dentists – 9,4%, in second place in terms of accessibility are dentists orthopedists - 8%, and in third place are dentists therapists – 6,5%. The problem of teeth discoloration, especially accompanied by increased sensitivity, does not lose its relevance in modern dentistry. It seems necessary to develop, test and implement means and methods for quickly and gently eliminating discoloration of teeth, which will not only correct, change the color of the tooth, but also solve the problem of increased sensitivity of teeth.
