ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF DENTAL PROSTHESES USED IN CHILDREN WITH DENTAL ARCH DEFECTS ON THE ORAL TISSUES AND ORGANS

Abstract

Dental arch defects in children are formed under the influence of various etiological factors (trauma, caries, hereditary and congenital anomalies). This condition leads to impaired masticatory, speech, and esthetic functions and requires a comprehensive orthopedic and orthodontic approach (Proffit et al., 2018; Nigmatova I.M., Nigmatov R.N., 2021). When the defects of the dental arch are restored using fixed and removable prostheses, they exert a certain influence on the oral tissues and organs (Abdurashidov & Mamatqulov, 2019).
