METHODS FOR PREVENTING THE OCCURRENCE OF SECONDARY DEFOR-MATIONS OF THE DENTITION

Abstract

 Secondary deformations of the dentition can be observed both with preserved dentition in cases of multiple carious lesions of the occlusal surfaces of teeth, anatomically incorrect restoration of the occlusal surfaces of the crowns of chewing teeth or their contact surfaces after filling, and with partial loss of teeth in all age groups. With preserved dentition, secondary deformations are more common in young people aged 18-25 years; they can also appear in children with untimely removal of baby teeth, caries, bad habits, etc. Key words: dentition, defects, secondary deformations.
