Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Guidance of eruption and development of primary, mixed, and permanent dentition has a pivotal role in comprehensive oral healthcare in paediatric dentistry, which helps to achieve more stable, functionally, and aesthetically acceptable permanent dentition. Interceptive orthodontics includes procedures carried out in mixed dentition, and it takes advantage of the growth pattern and development during this phase. Early diagnosis and treatment of certain malocclusions will eliminate or reduce the severity of developing malocclusion, which would lessen the complexity of orthodontic treatment in the future, overall time, and cost. It also improves the child’s self-esteem, confidence, and parental satisfaction. Overall clinical examination, radiographic evaluation, and study model analysis with thorough knowledge of growth and development help in diagnosing and carrying out appropriate interceptive treatments necessary.
