Abstract

Purpose: to determine the frequency of occurrence of gnathological complications during therapeutic treatment in the opinion of dentists-internists, dentists-general practitioners and to identify their approaches to the treatment of this group of patients.Materials and methods: a survey of dentists-internists, dentists-general practitioners was conducted (82 respondents). The questionnaire was provided for filling out in paper form, as well as in electronic form by Google Forms, depending on the preferences and location of the respondent.Results: this survey showed a high incidence of gnathological complications during therapeutic treatment, 92.68% of respondents encountered complications from the TMJ after treatment in patients. Most often, complications occurred during root canal treatment (34.2%) and work lasting more than 60 minutes (61.5%). Both similar and different features were identified in the treatment of this group of patients.Conclusions: despite the high incidence of gnathological complications in the therapeutic rehabilitation of patients, according to dentists, there is currently no unified approach to the treatment of patients in this group and requires further development.
