Comprehensive assessment of dental health in medical students

Keywords: dental status of students, hygienic condition of the mouth, functional features of the temporomandibular joint, need for dental care

Students are a significant part of young people who are characterized by an active lifestyle, an enhanced psycho-emotional state, an increased academic load, often leading to deteriorated health. The state of dental health of students and the need for specialized care are of particular interest. The purpose of the study is a comprehensive assessment of dental students' dental status and determination of the need for specialized care. Material and methods. 50 dental students (19 men and 31 women) of Kazan universities aged 18–33 years were examined. A clinical dental examination of students was conducted, the results of which were recorded in a purposely designed "Dental examination card of a student". Study results. 4 students (8%) with intact hard tooth tissues were identified. The proportion of students who need oral cavity sanitation was 50%, 36% of them need endodontic treatment. The intensity of caries according to the CFE index in girls was 5.34±0.2 points, in boys – 6.01±0.7 points. Gum condition according to index (GI) of H. Loe and S. Silness = 1.4+0.11 points. In the course of assessing the severity of functional disorders on the part of the masticatory apparatus, an express method was used – the Hamburg examination (2000), which revealed the percentage (60%) of dysfunctions on the part of the temporomandibular joint. Violations in occlusal ratios of varying severity were detected in a quarter of the examined. The percentage of examined patients with temporomandibular joint dysfunction was 60%, the ratio of frontal teeth in the sagittal plane – disocclusion – 26%, reverse incisal disocclusion was 2%, deep incisal occlusion – 20%. Conclusions. The results of the survey revealed the need of students in dental (including orthodontic) curation.
