Abstract
The proposed complex of therapeutic and preventive measures, taking into account the risk of dental caries, improves the quality of orthodontic treatment using non-removable equipment, prevents the development of complications from the hard tissues of teeth and periodontal tissues. Before starting orthodontic treatment, patients with a reduced and increased risk of caries should be identified for the purpose of differentiated prescribing of preventive measures. When determining the hygienic condition of the oral cavity, the RNR hygiene index is the most informative. It has been established that the initial foci of enamel demineralization around fixed braces, visually indistinguishable but detectable using the electrometric examination method, occur in all patients undergoing orthodontic treatment using non-removable equipment. It is noted that focal demineralization of the enamel around braces occurs earlier in the cervical region of the teeth of the upper and lower jaw. Professional and individual oral hygiene with the help of highly effective hygiene products, exogenous and endogenous caries prevention using the drugs "Enamel-sealing liquid", "Oligovit", "Immunal" made it possible to reduce the increase in caries of permanent teeth in patients with an increased risk of caries by 89.2% and by 90.2% in those with reduced a risk.
