EFFECTIVENESS OF PROSTHODONTIC TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH INCREASED DENTAL ATTRITION ON THE BASIS OF FUNCTIONAL DIAGNOSTIC

Aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of prosthodontic methods of treatment based of functional diagnostic of patients with increased dental attrition Methods. We have examined 35 patients at the Smolensk State Medical University Hospital: 20 patients with increased dental attrition and 15 patients who didn’t have any sign of functional disorders of dentoalveolar and musculoskeletal system. The main group was divided into two subgroups. In the group 1 (11 patients) required a prosthodontic therapy included individual wax-up of future prosthetic construction based on data of functional diagnostic. An electromyographic study was conducted before and one month after treatment for determination of the effectiveness of treatment methods. Results. Analyzing and comparing the data of the electromyographic study 1 month before and after treatment of patients of the 1 group have shown 93,1 % effectiveness of the treatment and the control group. The results of the study show that such occlusion is optimal for the muscles and temporomandibular joint. Conclusion. Dental treatment of increased attrition of teeth based on functional diagnostic contributes to the normalization of muscles activity. Moreover it allows to protect teeth from attrition and providing effective rehabilitation of patients.
