Influence of professional physical loads on the functional indicators of dental status

Abstract

The article presents the results of the assessment of occlusalarticulation parameters of the dentofacial system of athletes. During the study, the presence of a “chewing apparatus dysfunction” among athletes in 25.5% was found. According to T-scan III, occlusion disorders are characteristic of all athletes and manifest themselves in premature and super contacts when teeth are closed. The obtained results dictate the need for the development of new therapeutic and preventive methods of correction in athletes.
