Currently, psychologists' research shows that children raised in orphanages have significantly different physical and psychological development than children raised in families. The comparison of the psychological status of children raised in orphanages, SOS Children's Villages, and families revealed significant differences in the children's state. The importance of a beautiful appearance and a smile, the search for approval, and the need for communication among such children all point to the need for conditions conducive to orphan rehabilitation. Dentists, psychologists, speech therapists, and other medical professionals can help shape positive self-esteem and behavior in society.

There is currently a distinct lack of population studies on the prevalence of dental anomalies (ZFA) in the adult population. There are no systematic reviews on the prevalence of HFA among adults in the Russian or international literature. The goal of this study is to conduct a systematic search, selection, and qualitative synthesis of published data on the prevalence of HPV in the adult population of Russia and former Soviet Union countries, following PRISMA methodological guidelines to ensure reproducibility of the results .

The study's goal is to investigate the reasons why patients seek the services of an orthodontic dentist. The outpatient records of a dental patient from one municipal state budgetary institution of health care in St. Petersburg, as well as three private dental clinics in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, Russia, were used in the study. 667 primary medical records were examined in total. The primary medical records were analyzed to determine the reasons that prompted the patients or their parents (legal representatives) to seek consultation with an orthodontic dentist. All consultation reasons were conditionally classified as "medical" or "medical and social. " We discovered that consultative work consumes the majority of orthodontic dentists' working time, with 9.7% of visits referring to consultative work. Patients are interested in social, legal, and economic issues during consultations in addition to medical issues. Patients were interested in detailed information about the most "effective" and aesthetic braces (20.5% of consultations), as well as the need to consult with an independent orthodontist about indications for removal of intact teeth for further orthodontic treatment (32.5%). Patients were concerned about the comparative cost and "effectiveness" of various bracket systems (9.5% of consultations), as well as whether fitting a bracket system would affect conscription into the Armed Forces (2% of consultations). The percentage of patients who attended a consultation to invite a dentist or orthodontist to participate in an independent medical examination for a trial (0.3% of consultations) is notable, confirming the appearance of frequent complaints, claims, and lawsuits about the effectiveness and quality of orthodontic treatment.

Artificial neural networks are now a common component of machine learning in many computer algorithms that deal with automated picture recognition. In orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery, the 2D-cephalometric radiograph is a significant and still applicable research approach, although the doctor must spend a lot of time analyzing the images. Utilizing artificial intelligence technologies, the new online platform ViSurgery enables the calculation of the lateral and frontal cephalograms automatically. Regardless of the image's source, the generated CNN handles cephalograms and achieves 98% accuracy. The proposed method requires five times less time than the conventional "manual" method of setting up cephalometric points.

The purpose of this study was to compare the reliability and processing speed of automated and manual lateral cephalogram (LC) landmarking in various software. This work was also done to determine the educational potential of artificial neural networks for inexperienced doctors as well as the potential for assistance for experienced doctors. For the study, thirty LCs were chosen at random. Dolphin Imaging and ViSurgery online were both tested. Each program developed 30 projects based on the 30 LCs studied. Each project included 48 cephalometric points. In both systems, the Cephalometric for Orthognathic Surgery analysis (COGS, Burstone et al. 1978) was performed automatically. Five experienced doctors and five first-year residents participated in the study. The processing time was documented, and the statistical significance of the measurements was determined. Two of the eight measurements revealed statistically significant differences between Dolphin and ViSurgery. These variations are not clinically significant. The average time spent on image processing by experienced doctors in Dolphin Imaging was 3 minutes 36 seconds, and 3 minutes 9 seconds in ViSurgery, while these indicators were 4 minutes 33 seconds and 3 minutes 50 seconds, respectively, for inexperienced colleagues. The study found that the results of cephalometric measurements in the Dolphin and ViSurgery programs do not differ significantly for the majority of measurements.The average amount of time spent on LC processing by experienced doctors in ViSurgery was 12.5% less than in Dolphin. This difference was 15.8% for first-year residents.

Stress is one of the factors that contribute to the onset of anxiety disorders. The number of stressors has recently increased dramatically. Successful patient diagnosis and treatment should take into account not only somatic disorders, but also the emotional component, which plays an important role in the manifestation of a number of stressful events.

The article focuses on the bioelectrical activity of the temporal and masticatory muscles in various functional tests in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis.

The article substantiates the benefits and demonstrates the results of the practical application of methods for quantifying dental-facial anomalies AMORF, PAOF, and PAMORF, allowing the choice of treatment tactics to be justified and its effectiveness to be evaluated at the end.

This article presents a case study of a 21-year-old patient who had an impacted lower second molar and a retained third molar. The patient was treated by having the retained molar removed and the impacted tooth exposed. With consistent application of a removable appliance and braces, the proposed method to forced eruption of the vertically impacted lower second molar has shown good results. The orthodontic treatment lasted 20 months.

Glucocorticoids (GCS) are the most commonly used drugs to treat inflammatory, allergic, and autoimmune diseases. However, a variety of side effects can have a negative impact on active orthodontic treatment and the retention period. Based on systematic reviews and meta-analyses, an algorithm for orthodontic care for patients taking GCS in various dosage forms (deposit certificate No. 2089361) was developed to improve treatment safety and quality. The proposed algorithm is a useful guide for defining treatment plans, additional diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and consultations with other medical specialists.
