The rapid development of orthopedic dentistry in recent decades is associated with the growing demand of the population for high-quality dental prosthetics. Patients increasingly seek dental clinics not only to restore chewing function, but also to achieve a perfect aesthetic smile. Statistical studies confirm a steady increase in the number of patients in need of both removable and fixed dentures. However, scientific papers in the field of orthopedic dentistry pay little attention to the importance of the process of grinding dentures. In this regard, dental technicians and orthopedic dentists do not sufficiently highlight the importance of this problem, which entails serious clinical consequences. In practice, this is manifested in an increase in the number of cases of inflammatory periodontal diseases, as well as in patient complaints about the unsatisfactory appearance of dentures, their rapid wear and discomfort during use. One of the common causes of such complications is a violation of grinding technologies of grinding at the stages of pre-final and final polishing. Here, the use of specialized abrasive instruments, polishing pastes and other devices to ensure the perfect smoothness of the surfaces of dentures is of particular importance. Thus, raising awareness among professionals about the importance of each stage of denture grinding helps to improve the quality of orthopedic treatment, reduce the risk of complications and increase patient satisfaction. Further research in this area will help optimize existing methods and develop new standards for the grinding and polishing of dental prostheses in orthopedic dentistry.
