THERAPEUTIC METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF DENTAL DISCOLORITIS

Abstract

The problem of discoloration of teeth, especially accompanied by increased sensitivity, does not lose its relevance in modern dentistry. Despite the presence in the arsenal of dentists of a significant number of means and methods for solving this problem, it does not go away, but, on the contrary, is overgrown with new complaints. In this work, we analyzed the frequency to analyze the frequency of choice of therapeutic methods for treating discoloration of teeth by patients of dental clinics. A questionnaire was developed for a dentist on the patient's choice of a therapeutic method for eliminating dental discoloration and a survey of 30 dentists (10 - therapists, 10 - orthopedists and 10 - general dentists) was conducted for 2019 and 6 months of 2020. It was found that during this period, 184 out of 331 patients who applied to dental clinics with this problem used therapeutic methods for eliminating tooth discoloration: tooth enamel coating with varnish ("Colordent" + adhesive "Single Bond") was carried out in 16.6% of patients, clinical bleaching of enamel in 32.6% of patients with tooth discoloration, intracoronal bleaching followed by direct restoration (replacement of existing fillings with new ones) in 53.8%. The analysis showed that therapeutic methods for eliminating discoloration of teeth predominate slightly, 55%. Of course, in choosing this direction, the doctor is guided by the clinical situation, IROPZ, taking into account the wishes of the patient and his capabilities. However, it seems necessary to develop and test new, gentle and resistant to mechanical stress methods for eliminating discoloration of economy-class teeth with the possibility of solving the problem of increased tooth sensitivity.
