Abstract:
Introduction: partial secondary edentation complicated by tooth migration causes dentition, parodontium lesions, violation of temporo-mandibular joint, muscles of mastication and impedes making the
diagnosis and treatment of this pathology.
Pupose: investigation of correlation between the phenomenon of tooth migration and clinical manifestation of partial edentation.
Objectives: Investigation of modern aspects of morphology and physiology of dentition. Determination of correlation between tooth migration and clinical manifestation of partial edentation. Optimization of methods for restoring the occlusal plane.
Methods: we have created a database under the patient cards of patients with partial loss of teeth,
complicated by tooth migration, which contains information about clinical and paraclinical examination
and treatment results.
Results: on the basis of clinical and paraclinical examination of patients with partial secondary edentation complicated by tooth migration, we detected lesion of dentition, parodontium, temporo-mandibular joint and muscles of mastication. They were clinically manifested by deformation of occlusal plane,
violation of occlusal relationships, loss of multiple teeth contacts, injury of the oral mucosa as well as
violation of temporo-mandibular joint and chewing muscles.
Conclusion: tooth migration is a widespread complication of partial edentation. This phenomenon
determines establishment of occlusal imbalance and appearance of morphological and functional disorders at the level of parodontium, chewing muscles and temporo-mandibular joint.
