Abstract
To date, various methods of qualitative and quantitative assessment of dental-facial anomalies have been described in the medical literature. They describe the causes of dental anomalies, determine the localization of disorders, consider the functional state of the dental system, as well as quantify the degree of violations of facial aesthetics, occlusion, morphology and function in various dental-facial anomalies. To assess the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to conduct a quality assessment in patients with dentofacial anomalies who have completed orthodontic treatment. The essence of the proposed method is that on the basis of tables developed and structured according to several blocks, an assessment of the quality of orthodontic treatment is proposed, including an assessment of the aesthetics of the face and smile, articulation and occlusal ratios, malocclusion anomalies in the sagittal, vertical and transversal directions, the state of periodontal tissues and hard tissues of the teeth, as well as the state of the temporomandibular joint in patients who have completed orthodontic treatment. The assessment of the quality of orthodontic treatment consists of three blocks: assessment of the quality of the results of orthodontic treatment, assessment of the process of orthodontic treatment, assessment of the maintenance of medical records. According to the results of filling in which, a conclusion is made about the quality of the orthodontic treatment. The overall assessment of the quality of orthodontic treatment is obtained by summing up the results of the three assessments received, and the assessment of the quality of clinical work is crucial. The method developed by us allows us to make an expert assessment of the process of orthodontic treatment, the quality of its results and the maintenance of medical records in patients who have completed orthodontic treatment. The article presents the results of the assessment of the quality of orthodontic treatment in the clinics of St. Petersburg.
