The article addresses pressing issues related to the prevalence and intensity of dental diseases, emphasizing the critical role of oral hygiene in the onset and progression of major dental pathologies. As individuals age, the condition of their dental and jaw systems tends to deteriorate, resulting in a higher likelihood of tooth loss. This, in turn, increases demand for restorative dental services. The declining oral health indicators among the population of Khabarovsk highlight a growing need for prosthodontic care, periodontal treatment, and management of advanced carious lesions—conditions that frequently lead to tooth loss, even among younger individuals. These diseases often result in persistent morphological and functional changes in the masticatory system, which adversely affect the digestive process, facial aesthetics, chewing efficiency, and speech capabilities. Consequently, there is a notable surge in demand for comprehensive dental care services.
