Secondary deformities of dentitions in residents of the Kharkiv region

Abstract

partial dentition defects among residents of the Kharkiv region. The results of the digital panoramic radiography analysis confirm a high prevalence of dentition defects among residents of the Kharkiv region – averaging 53.7 % – and demonstrate a direct correlation with the patients’ age. A significant increase in the prevalence of partial dentition defects is observed in the 25–29 age group, where the prevalence exceeds 40 %, and it remains high in the oldest age group (75–84 years).
