Problems of adaptation of primary prosthetic patients with complete absence of teeth to removable plate prostheses

Abstract

The prevalence of total tooth loss has not decreased over the past decade. This is one of the most common pathologies, especially among the elderly. The restoration of the functions of chewing, aesthetics and speech in the complete absence of teeth is one of the most important tasks of modern dentistry. For the treatment of complete absence of teeth, removable plate prostheses are mainly used. The problem of adaptation of patients to them remains unresolved in the treatment of removable plate prostheses. There are many different approaches to improving the adaptation of patients with complete absence of teeth to removable plate prostheses: the installation of dental implants, the use of adhesive drugs, the use of local ozone therapy of the oral mucosa, the use of new structural materials. However, all these methods do not allow us to solve the fully existing problem of adaptation. In addition, the use of adhesive drugs can cause allergies in patients. It is not always possible to install implants and perform local ozone therapy, and expensive equipment is also necessary. An analysis of the scientific literature conducted in the article on the problems of adapting patients to orthopedic dental treatment with removable plate prostheses showed that among the methods of non-drug effects on these processes, the use of biological feedback methods may be preferable, which helps to reduce the adaptation period by stimulating the human bodys own reserves.
