Analysis of the permanent teeth lesions upon carious process in other dental diseases

Abstract

The article presents the results of the analysis of dental treatment indices in patients of the City Advisory Dental Clinic (CADC) in Chernivtsi during 2013–2017. The given data testify to the significant changes upon caries lesions within each passing year. The annual increase in the rate of tooth extraction among able-bodied residents of Chernivtsi, complications of caries, an increase in the incidence of pulpitis, periodontitis and insufficient organization of prevention is observed.The purpose of the work is to analyze the state of therapeutic treatment in the structure of dental care in the surveyed population of the Chernivtsi oblast on the basis of the CADC data in Chernivtsi for the period of 2013–2017.Material and methods. The analysis of the daily records of the work of the doctor-dentist (Ф № 037/о) and the dentist’s diary (F № 039–2/o) of CADC staff work in Chernivtsi during the years 2013–2017 was carried out. Statistical data processing and graphical analysis were performed using the Microsoft Exсel computer program.Results. According to our observations, the prevalence of the disease of dental and oral cavity among surveyed population groups in Chernivtsi oblast over the years of 2013–2017 is about 95%.Conclusions. Thus, for today, the tendency of growth rate of caries prevalence among the population of Chernivtsi region has been clearly established. In particular, we have found a tendency to increase loss of teeth due to complications of caries process. All this indicates the need to study and implement recommendations for the rational and effective treatment of carious lesions among the population of the Chernivtsi region, as well as to provide reasoned justification for the choice of modern dental filling material during treatment, taking into account peculiarities of the progress of carious process. In our opinion, the main reason for this is the lack of motivation of the population to maintain dental health, as well as the problem of adequate and rational treatment and prevention of carious lesions.
