Popis: Relevance: The use of fixed orthodontic structures increases the risk of developing dental diseases. An effective way to prevent dental diseases is personalized training and monitoring of individual oral hygiene. Purpose of the work: To increase the effectiveness of the prophylaxy of dental diseases in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. Materials and Methods: The analysis of 60 medical records in the municipal and private clinics of Saratov was carried out. The age of the patients was 13–18 years old. There also was a survey among 15 orthodontists on the subject of the identifying difficulties of using the personification of an integrated approach. A questionnaire was given to the patients. The age of the respondents was 13–18 years old. Results: According to the analysis of data from medical records in municipal and private clinics, a low prevalence of the use of an individual approach in the prescription of personal oral hygiene products in patients undergoing treatment with the use of fixed orthodontic structures was revealed, which is associated with an insufficient amount of time for admission within the framework of the compulsory medical insurance system, and also with low compliance of patients and their parents, as well as low hygienic education of patients, insufficient government attention to preventive dentistry, and lack of labor rates for dental hygienists. When questioning patients, difficulties in adhering to recommendations for personal oral hygiene was revealed. Conclusions. We have developed an algorithm of actions to improve the effectiveness of individual oral hygiene among adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment. The proposed measures will increase the level of motivation and compliance of patients.
