Assessment of The Psychological Status of Patients with Dental Anomalies

Abstract

Among dental diseases, anomalies of teeth and jaws occupy the third place in frequency and prevalence after dental caries and periodontal diseases. One of the urgent problems in dentistry is the high prevalence of anomalies of occlusion of the dentition in young children and are accompanied by deformation of the occlusal plane, changes in the movements of the lower jaw, violation (disharmony) of the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints. Anomalies of occlusion of dentition belong to the group of major dental diseases and are characterized by high prevalence. Despite the implementation of preventive programs and the introduction of advanced medical technologies, the prevalence of dental anomalies in children over the past ten years has not tended to decrease and remains high both in Uzbekistan and abroad.
