Prevalence and intensity of oral mucosal diseases in orthodontic patients

Abstract

The use of fixed orthodontic appliances for the treatment of dentoalveolar anomalies in young patients can lead to trauma of the mucous membrane of the cheeks and lips (Pasaoglu B.A., Buyukbasaran E., 2024; Abdollahzadeh B.T. et al., 2024). However, there are contradictory data on the effect of orthodontic treatment on the development of oral mucosal diseases (OMD) of non-traumatic origin. There are also few studies aimed at determining the risk factors for the development of oral mucosal diseases in these patients, as well as an effective algorithm for their prevention and treatment, which makes this problem relevant. The aim of the study. To study the peculiarities of the distribution, diagnostic structure and clinical course of OMD in young patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
