Abstract: Introduction: At a dental appointment, it is advisable for patients to assess the risks of complications in order to prevent the development of a number of dental diseases, such as periodontitis, gum recession, etc. During follow-up visits to patients, according to the follow-up period, it is necessary not only to assess the dynamics of healing of the dental gingival complex, but also to carry out mandatory risk coordination, that is, to document all changes that have occurred since the initial visit. Assessment of the continuous risk management of complications in patients undergoing orthopedic treatment for an aesthetic defect with a low clinical crown of the supporting teeth, the correction of which was carried out by various methods, and served the purpose of this work. Research methodology: In this study, a comprehensive examination and treatment of 231 patients with low crowns of the supporting teeth was performed, which were randomized into 3 groups depending on the method of correction: group I – surgical preparation performed by gingivectomy (n = 75), group II – alveoloplasty (n = 80), group III – gum retraction (n = 76). The risk of complications was assessed at three levels: at the level of the dental gingival complex in the area of teeth with a low crown height; at the level of an individual tooth; at the level of each surface of each tooth. The following parameters were studied: related to the surfaces of teeth – determination of indices – PI, PBI; related to the tooth – the depth of sounding of the dental sulcus and the height of the dental complex; two parameters related to the state of the dentition – assessment of microcirculation and occlusion analysis). Results: The main goal of continuous risk management was to consistently monitor the long-term periodontal health status of a patient with a low crown of supporting teeth after gum retraction and surgical correction methods. After performing one of the surgical treatment methods, first of all, it is necessary to exercise responsibility in monitoring the development of a number of complications. Conclusion: The model we have developed makes it possible to simplify each clinical case in terms of diagnosis and prognosis.
