Relevance of the research. There is a trend of increased prevalence of teeth anomalies in recent years and, as well, it is accompanied by increased degree of severity of their aesthetic, functional and morphological manifestations. Orthodontic procedure has dual impact on periodontal status, which may be sometimes very significant in increasing of periodontal health, and may be sometimes harmful procedure that can be followed by periodontal problems. Purpose of the study is to determine the state of health and the state of periodontal tissues in children with orthodontic treatment. Objectives of the study. The task is to examine the prevalence of teeth anomalies in children and adolescents (teenager) 7-15 years from Ternopil, to determine the indices of oral cavity health and the index of caries intensity (DMF). The results of epidemiological survey of the orthodontic pathology prevalence in children is 79,5+3,1 %. Children of 9 years old – 69,8 ± 4,5 %, children of 12 years old – 66,8 ± 3,3 % and children of 15 years old – 76,3 ± 4,3 %. The intensity of caries in children (DMF) was 5,46 ± 0,23. Children with orthodontic pathology have higher degrees of oral hygiene index – simplified (OHI S) Green- Vermillion – 3,4 ± 0,2 points (control group –1,1 ± 0,1). This epidemiological study was done to find out the link between periodontal status with orthodontic procedure among the age group of 7-15 years old. Pathological occlusion should be considered to be one of the factors of periodontal disease, and therefore it needs appropriate orthodontic treatment. It requires a comprehensive and individualized approach. Thus, patient’s motivation regarding oral hygiene is essential element for successful orthodontic treatment. The article presents data on the structure and the prevalence of dentofacial anomalies obtained during an epidemiological examination. This article is aimed to describe dental status of patients’ oral cavity who are treated with fixed and removable orthodontic techniques. Malocclusions should be considered as one of the factors of periodontal disease, and therefore it needs appropriate orthodontic treatment. It requires a comprehen- sive and individualized approach.
