Abstract
The profession of ballet dancers is always associated with excessive physical exertion, which in turn leads to increased muscle tension in all parts of the body, including the muscles of the facial skeleton. This, in turn, can lead to injuries and increased abrasion of the hard tissues of the teeth and, as a result, to various occlusive disorders. Against the background of an excessively busy training schedule, a ballet dancer may lack time for oral hygiene. All of the above can affect the level of oral hygiene and the condition of the hard tissues of the teeth.
The purpose of the study is to improve the efficiency and quality of dental care for ballet dancers of various age groups based on the identified features of oral hygiene and the condition of hard dental tissues and the need for dental treatment.
Materials and methods: 75 ballet dancers were assessed for oral hygiene OHI-S and tooth erasability, determination of the area of occlusal contacts and registration of supracontacts.
Results and conclusions: the age and work experience of a ballet dancer directly affects the level of oral hygiene and the condition of the hard tissues of the teeth. Ballet dancers have average satisfactory and high unsatisfactory indicators of the level of oral hygiene, as well as increased tooth abrasion and occlusive disorders of varying severity.
