INDIVIDUAL ORAL HYGIENE METHODS FOR THE PREVENTION OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES IN PATIENTS WITH ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT

The active development of dental services in Uzbekistan for countless years has been focused on technical improvements and the introduction of scientific ideas into everyday medical practice. However, these fundamental issues in dentistry, such as oral hygiene and prevention, were addressed abruptly, without the use of any special developments or comprehensive programs. Perhaps the "scientific nature" of one of the most important areas of dentistry was partially rooted in the thesis of the need for systematic preventive examinations [3, 4, 10]. A program for the prevention of oral diseases as a key task in the work of a dentist has long been unimplemented. How can oral care be transformed into a culturally meaningful practice for every resident of Uzbekistan? How can preventive measures be implemented as a daily habit? How can we instill in children and adults a sustainable ability to use these tools? How can we develop a desire for ongoing communication with a specialist? These questions remained unresolved. It's not easy to change long-held beliefs, eradicate fears from youth, and foster a new mindset! As a result, in real time, most patients seeking dental care typically suffer from various forms of periodontal disease.
