Abstract
Úvod a cíl: Zubní kaz je stále nejčastějším infekčním onemocněním. Jeho přítomnost může vést k bolesti, obtížím při příjmu potravy nebo šíření infekce do okolních tkání. Důsledkem může být předčasná ztráta dočasných zubů, vznik a progrese sekundárního stěsnání, komplikace při erupci stálých zubů a zhoršení ortodontických vad. Cílem této práce je přiblížit skutečný stav chrupu a úroveň sanace u dětí do 18 let, které jsou v rámci mezioborové spolupráce odesílány na ortodoncii praktickými zubními lékaři.Metodika: Do studie byli zahrnuti pacienti ve věku do 18 let, u nichž byla v období od června 2023 do června 2024 zhotovena kompletní vstupní ortodontická dokumentace, včetně bite-wing (BW) snímků, v soukromé ortodontické ordinaci ve Strakonicích. Pacienti byli podle zjištěných patologií rozděleni do dvou skupin. První skupinu tvořili pacienti, jejichž stav chrupu nevyžadoval sanaci před ortodontickou léčbou – do této skupiny byli zařazeni pacienti, u nichž nebyla nalezena žádná patologie, na BW snímcích byly přítomny kazy maximálně velikosti D1 a případné fraktury se vyskytovaly pouze ve sklovině. Druhou skupinu tvořili pacienti vyžadující sanaci.Výsledky: Od června 2023 do června 2024 bylo do studie zařazeno 124 pacientů, které odeslalo celkem 72 praktických zubních lékařů. Do skupiny pacientů nevyžadujících sanaci bylo zařazeno 66 pacientů (53 %),u nichž bylo možné bez problémů zahájit ortodontickou léčbu, aniž by byla nutná sanace. Do skupiny vyžadující sanaci spadalo 58 pacientů (47 %).Závěr: Téměř polovina pacientů, kteří se dostavili na ortodontické vyšetření, vyžadovala sanaci před zahájením ortodontické léčby. To vede k odkladu terapie a může způsobit změny v ortodontickém plánu, které následně komplikují další postup léčby. Je proto nezbytné znát ošetřujícího praktického zubního lékaře každého pacienta a udržovat s ním odpovědnou a efektivní komunikaci.
Introduction and aim: Dental caries remains the most common infectious disease. Its presence can cause pain, difficulty in eating or spreading of infection to surrounding tissues. These complications can result inpremature loss of primary teeth, leading to secondary crowding, disrupted eruption of permanent teeth, and worsening of orthodontic anomalies. The aim of this study is to describe the current dental status andlevel of restoration in children under 18 years of age who are referred to orthodontists by general dental practitioners as part of interdisciplinary collaboration.Methods: Patients under 18 years of age who had a complete initial orthodontic record, including bitewing (BW) radiographs taken at a private orthodontic practice in Strakonice between June 2023 and June 2024, were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of dental pathology. The first group consisted of patients who did not require any restoration prior to orthodontic treatment – this group included patients with no detected pathology, cavities limited to a maximum of D1 on BW images, and any fractures present only in the enamel. The second group included patients who did require restoration.Results: A total of 124 patients, referred by 72 general dental practitioners, were enrolled in the study between June 2023 and June 2024. The group of patients not requiring restoration included 66 patients (53%), whowere able to proceed with orthodontic treatment without delay. The group requiring restoration included 58 patients (47%).Conclusion: Nearly half of the patients referred for orthodontic evaluation required restoration before starting the orthodontic treatment. This leads to delays and may cause changes to the orthodontic treatment plan, potentially complicating its future progress. Therefore, it is essential to know each patient's treating general dentist and to maintain responsible as well as effective communication with him/her.
