DETERMINATION OF NECESSITY IN ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT IN 12 YEARS OLD CHILDREN

Objective: to analyze the need for orthodontic treatment according to the data of the DAI index of children in the city of Karaganda. Material and methods: to solve this goal, a dental examination of 400 children of 12 years old was conducted in schools in the city of Karaganda. To determine the need for orthodontic treatment, the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) recommended by WHO was calculated. Statistical processing of the data was carried out in the program SPSS ver. 20 for OS Windows. Results and discussion: Among the children surveyed, dentoalveolar anomalies was observed in 67% of children. In the structure of nosological forms, anomalies of the position of individual teeth in 39% of children and anomalies of occlusion prevailed, in 28%. Indicators of the dental aesthetic index showed that the overwhelming majority of the children surveyed (76%) were missing or had minor occlusion disorders that did not require orthodontic treatment. Explicit malocclusion was found in 12% of patients who needed selective treatment. According to the index values, every twelfth schoolchild (8%) had severe malocclusion; in this situation, the treatment is very desirable. Very severe violations occurred much less frequently, 4%; these scholars need complex treatment. Conclusion: Thus, the conducted study allowed to clarify and detail the level and structure of the occurrence of various forms of dentoalveolar anomalies in children of Karaganda and to study the level of need for their correction.
