The analysis of 50 pairs of plaster models of edentulous jaws in patients of both sexes aged from 75 to 90 years has been made. In 44,0 % of them the position of the jaws was neutral, in 32,0 % it was medial, and in 24,0 % – distal. A shift of the mandible relative to the upper jaw was in the range of 0,1-1,0 cm. Interalveolar height was in the range of 1,5 to 3,1 cm. There were no absolutely identical in size, shape and degree of atrophy toothless jaws.

INTRODUCTION: the maintenance of space, when early loss of primary teeth occurs, prevents a potential problem - tooth migration - from determining the formation of a malocclusion, constituting a preventive orthodontic maneuver. The loss of a deciduous tooth is considered premature when it is lost before its permanent successor has started the process of eruption. OBJECTIVE: this article aims to review the literature related to the early loss of deciduous teeth, emphasizing its etiology, its consequences on the development of the stomatognathic system, and, also, the devices indicated to prevent the establishment of malocclusions. METHODS AND MATERIALS: the search for the referenced articles was carried out in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Laboratory appliances were made in plaster models in order to demonstrate the possibilities and indications of fixed or removable appliances, for different situations involving early tooth loss. CONCLUSION: preventing and intercepting incipient problems is much easier than correcting them in the future.

Abstract: The use of denture aims to improve the function of mastication, restoring the aesthetic function, improve the function of phonetics, and maintain the remaining oral tissues to be healthy. This study aimed to obtain the pattern of tooth loss among people in Tondano District Roong Village West. The study population was the whole villagers of Roong who used removable partial dentures acrylic-based. There were 75 people obtained by a preliminary survey in October 2014. Sampling was conducted by using total sampling method. The results showed that tooth loss occured mostly of the lower jaw partly tooth loss (80.33%). The mostly used type was RPDs with a total of 50.43% (17.10% of the upper jaw, 33.33% of the lower jaw). The pattern of partly tooth loss was based on the Applegate-Kennedy clasification, and the most frequent was class VI 22.10% (32.14% of the upper jaw and lower jaw 16.33%). RPDs were use based on the pattern of tooth loss, the most frequent was class VI 22.10% (32.14% RPDs of the upper jaw and 16.33% of the lower jaw). Based on the pattern of tooth loss, the usage of GTC was most frequent of the class IV 27.27% (GTC maxilla 1 (5.55%).Keywords: pattern of tooth lossAbstrak: Penggunaan gigi tiruan bertujuan untuk memperbaiki fungsi pengunyahan, memulihkan fungsi estetik, meningkatkan fungsi fonetik, serta mempertahankan jaringan mulut yang masih ada agar tetap sehat.

OBJECTIVE. The article analyzed an efficacy and safety of application of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in elderly and senile patients with rectal cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS. An analysis of treatment results was made in 267 patients, who were divided into two groups. The first group (n = 142) underwent combined treatment that included prolonged course of neoadjuvant CRT followed by surgery. The second group of 125 patients underwent surgery without application of CRT. The patients of both groups were subdivided according their age. The subgroup “A” consisted of young and middle age patients. The subgroup “B” included geriatric patients. Comparative analysis was made between the same age subgroups. RESULTS. The age factor didn’t significantly influence on the risk of complications of neoadjuvant CRT and its adverse effects on subsequent outcome of surgery. The application of preoperative CRT in geriatric patients accompanied by less significant growth of recurrence-free survival compared with young patients. CONCLUSIONS. The age factor shouldn’t restrict the application of neoadjuvant CRT in patients with satisfactory general health status and absence of tumor complication process.

Oral disorders of the dog represent for veterinarians a medical challenge and an important field of interest from the economical point of view. Although many epidemiological studies on dental diseases in beagles bred under controlled conditions have been realized, information on frequency of these alterations in populations of pet dogs, especially in Central Europe, is far from complete. The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of the most common oral diseases in dogs in a Czech urban region. A total number of 408 dogs, presented at a private Czech urban veterinary hospital for different reasons, were analyzed. Site specificity and severity of dental diseases were assessed using modified indexing systems. Dental alterations could be found in 348 out of 408 dogs (85.3%). The most frequent diseases were (i) periodontitis (60.0% of 408 dogs), (ii) calculus (61.3%), (iii) missing teeth (33.8%), and (iv) abnormal attrition (5.9%). Furthermore, single cases of caries, tumors and enamel hypoplasia could be observed. Periodontitis occurred preferentially in the upper jaw of small dogs and increased with age. The labial/buccal side of teeth was affected more severely than the lingual/palatinal side. Differences between left and right side could not be observed. Malocclusion and insufficient oral hygiene care seem to predispose to periodontitis. As periodontitis, dental calculus occurred preferentially in small dogs and increased with age. The prevalence of calculus formation did not differ between left and right side. However, the upper jaw showed a higher degree of affection than the mandible. On the labial/buccal side of the teeth, a thicker calculus layer could be observed than lingually/palatinally. Interestingly, the degree of calculus formation and of periodontitis did not correlate in all cases, supporting the hypothesis that supragingival calculus per se is not an irritant. The pattern of tooth loss was the same between left and right side and between upper and lower jaw. Most commonly, the first premolars were missing followed by incisors and other premolars and molars. Tooth loss for other reasons than periodontitis and single cases of tooth agenesis has not been detected in our study. (Abnormal) tooth wear was detected only in older dogs and affected mostly canines and premolars of large breeds. Age estimation based on dental attrition should be carried out with care, because tooth wear depends on keeping conditions and feeding of the dog. Our study confirmed the high prevalence of oral diseases in dogs. Veterinarians could improve the effectiveness of treatment concentrating their diagnostic efforts on age groups and types of teeth at highest risk, as assessed in this and other reports.

The aim study was to construct artificial dentitions based on the method of mathematical modeling with the progenic and prognatic ratios of toothless frontal segments and to analyze the functional activity of the masticatory muscles in patients using dentures made in this way, compared with standard prosthetic structures. To compare and interpret the data obtained, electromyographic studies were performed in the control group (16 people), whose teeth were made using the traditional method, and the main group (22 people), whose artificial teeth were formed according to individual mathematical calculations, taking into account the size of the sagittal gap of the frontal segments of the progenic and prognatic ratio of toothless jaws. Statistical processing of the results of the electro-myographic study was carried out using the Statistica application software package. The digital data were processed by the method of variational statistics using the Student's t-test. The analysis of the obtained data showed the advantages of using individual mathematical calculations when solving the issue of tactics for constructing dentitions in the frontal segment of toothless jaws, taking into account the degree of the sagittal gap in the progenic and prognatic correlation of the jaws and their possible combinations.

Demographic changes in the industrialized countries require that dentists adapt to the growing and heterogeneous group of elderly patients and develop concepts for the dental care of fit, frail, and dependent old and very old people. In general, dental care for old and very old people should be based on their individual everyday life. As a result of demographic changes, improved oral hygiene at home, and the establishment of professional teeth and denture cleaning, tooth loss occurs increasingly in higher ages, which implies that first extensive prosthetic rehabilitation with fixed or/and removable dental prostheses is shifting to a higher average age than ever before. This phenomenon requires that the individual diseases, potential multimorbidity and polypharmacy, and associated limitations are taken into consideration. Against this background, the current survey aims to summarize epidemiological trends associated with tooth loss, using Germany as a highly representative country for demographic changes as an example. Furthermore, the current narrative summary outlines general principles that should be followed in dental care, treatment of geriatric patients, and outlines current therapeutic options in prosthetic dentistry.

Today, despite the progress made in dental implantology, the problem of rehabilitation of patients with significant bone atrophy in parodontal diseases has not been fully studied. The study aims to review the current views of various authors on the aetiology and treatment of parodontal diseases, which caused multiple tooth loss and bone atrophy in patients with occlusal pathology, based on the literature sources of scientific and medical information. Object and methods of study. Analytical study of scientific and medical literature on the treatment of multiple and partial tooth loss in patients with parodontal diseases in bone atrophy with impaired jaw relationships and orthopaedic rehabilitation using dental implantation and methods of bone augmentation of the mandible and maxilla. The use of implants in orthopaedic treatment expands the possibilities of using fixed prostheses, satisfying patients functionally and aesthetically. In case when the preservation of teeth becomes impossible or impractical to ensure proper treatment of the patient, they can be removed and replaced with dentures on dental implants. According to Misch C. [6], the masticatory load, which is exerted on the bone tissue of the jaws by an implant, increases the density of the bone structure. When teeth are lost due to parodontitis, there is atrophy of the alveolar ridge and a change in the structure of bone tissue, which is characterized by an increase in the porosity of the cancellous bone [4;5;7]. Sufficient bone volume and density in the area of the planned implantation are the main and important parameters for achieving normalized primary implant stabilization [11]. Partial and complete loss of teeth, as well as parodontal diseases, are always accompanied by the bone tissue of alveolar bone tissue of varying severity [1;4;5;13]. Signs of parodontal diseases in dentition defects are always more pronounced than in intact dental arch. The disease progresses rapidly, the dentition is destroyed if appropriate occlusal therapy is not performed [13;14]. Systemic factors and comorbidities in patients also play a significant role in reducing the bone volume of the jaws. The relationship between decreased bone density and age-related hormonal changes in women, as well as at the gender level, has been studied. Thus, women have changes in bone architecture and less dense arrangement of trabeculae in the jawbones than men [15].Bone tissue has a distinguishing feature – loss of multiple teeth or parodontal diseases lead to a redistribution of functional load, which causes its resorption [7;20]. In this regard, tooth extraction inevitably leads to a decrease in bone volume. The success of dental implantation on the maxilla became partially possible due to the introduction of sinus lifting with the use of osteoplastic materials [12;20;21]. According to some scientists[21], the autogenous bone graft is the gold standard in regenerative processes due to its osteoinductive, osteoconductive, and osteointegration properties, which are necessary for the restoration of lost bone tissue. The use of dentin in human teeth as an autograft was first described in a clinical case report in 2003 [23]. In recent experiments, these materials have proven to be a real alternative to the bone graft. Thanks to the work of a group of researchers [23;24], significant efforts were made in the basic and clinical study to find the best bone graft material for osseointegration of implants in the maxillary sinus. The autogenous dentin graft (AutoBT; Korea Tooth Bank, Seoul, Korea) was first developed in 2008, and several clinical studies have praised the use of AutoBT in the sinus compared to other grafts. Given the current development of advanced technologies in dental implantation, dentists use navigation templates in their practice, which are made using CAD CAM technology to improve the quality of care for patients who have indications for dental implantation. New diagnostic approaches allow us to virtually plan, simplify, and speed up surgery, to ensure accuracy. Thanks to this technology, dentists optimize the location of dental implants, taking into account the difficult conditions specific to patients with parodontal pathology.
