Tsvetkova Maria, Sohov Sergey

Aim: 1. To develop a preliminary anamnesis collection questionnaire for orthodontic patients for the quick identification of diseases and / or medications that can affect bone remodeling and the process of orthodontic treatment; 2. Compare the results of its application with the traditional form of the survey. Materials and methods: anamnesis of 284 patients was collected by the orthodontist using medical record form No. 043-1/y. Then, the same patients were asked to fill out a specially designed questionnaire on their own. Results: application of specially designed questionnaire made it possible to identify menopausal women (4.6%), patients with osteoporosis (0.7%), with endoprostheses (0.7%), the presence of non-drug allergic reactions in patients (18.7%). When collecting anamnesis according to the questionnaire in the medical record form No. 043-1 / y, 3.9% of patients did not notify the doctor about taking corticosteroids in the form of sprays or inhalations. When filling out the questionnaire on their own, patients more often indicated taking vitamin D3 (by 15.9%), Omega 3 (by 11.3%) and zinc (by 1.8%). Conclusions: Reliable and complete information about the patient's health status obtained using a specially designed questionnaire will allow the orthodontist to individualize treatment plan and retention period, taking into account the general somatic and medicinal history.
