According to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO), functional disorders of the dentoalveolar system due to loss of teeth from periodontal diseases develop 5 times more often than in case of caries complications, and rank second in the incidence rate among all dental diseases.

CONCLUSION Thus, the study of the prevalence and intensity of periodontal diseases in residents of Penza in different age groups showed that in the subjects of group 1 with unsatisfactory oral hygiene the spread of periodontal inflammatory diseases was already high enough - 42%.
