Comparative analysis of retention period in children with distal and mesial occlusion of dentition

Abstract

Relevance. Sagittal abnormalities and deformations of the dentition in children and adolescents account for more than 50% of all dental and dental disorders. Distal occlusion of the dentition ranks first in the structure of the dentalmaxillary anomalies along the sagittal plane, reaching 40-45% of the total number of deformations of the dentalmaxillary system. Mesial occlusion of the dentition is much less common (4-7%), but is one of the most difficult to treat deformity. Aesthetic changes in children with distal and mesial occlusion of the dentition are complicated by impaired functions of chewing, breathing and speech formation. Purpose. It is to conduct a comparative analysis of the retention period in children and adolescents with distal and mesial occlusion of the dentition.
