ASSESSMENT OF INFORMATION CONTENT IN THE PREVENTION OF DENTAL DISEASES AMONG THE POPULATION

Abstract

The study of the characteristics of a person’s psychological properties that influence his motivation to maintain his health is important and relevant. A clinical examination of patients, a questionnaire including questions about behavioral habits, self-assessment of the condition of periodontal tissues, and a psychological questionnaire were conducted.

Patients with a high level of perfectionism have a low assessment of their oral health due to high demands on themselves, fear of not meeting high internal standards, and the desire to be better than others. They strive for perfection, and therefore carry out their work carefully, while they may not pay attention to health status and oral hygiene.
