Actual problems of prevalence and treatment of deep bite with functional correction of the musculo-articular complex in the permanent bite

The significant prevalence of deep bite and pathology of the musculo-articular complex dictates the need for a comprehensive study of this issue. A deep bite is diagnosing in about 78% of cases with vertical anomalies in the permanent bite. Also, according to the latest research, this pathology occurs most often in Europe, 37.4%. Deep bite is diagnosed more often among men. In addition, there is an increase in the prevalence of deep bite with age in adult patients. In addition, complaints about the musculo-articular complex have become more frequent: pain in the temporomandibular joints, muscle tension, teeth grinding, stronger clenching. All these factors dictate the need for a detailed study of this pathology. The article presents an analysis of modern domestic and foreign literature, which highlights the issues of prevalence, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic criteria and classification of forms of deep bite, its impact on the musculo-articular complex and features of treatment of this pathology in the permanent bite. The reviewed scientific works offer different methods of diagnosis and treatment of deep bite. In particular, the methods of treatment depend on the etiology and nature of deep bite. Many scientific works associate the occurrence of musculo-articular disorders with deep bite in patients. The improvement of the condition of the muscle-articular complex after the orthodontic treatment is also determined. However, a consensus was not reached on this issue, so research continues. After the analysis of the scientific works of many authors from the PubMed database, the need for a more detailed study of the problem, diagnostic methods and the creation of algorithms for the treatment of deep bite with functional correction of the musculo-articular complex in the permanent bite is followed. Keywords: temporomandibular joint, orthodontical treatment tactics, treatment algorithms.
