Introductions. The prevalence of adentia in childhood is high. Regardless of the causes, when adentia occurs, preventive and curative measures are required to prevent the occurrence of secondary deformities caused by the absence of a tooth in the dentition. Objectives. Analyze the diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic activities carried out in patients with clinical adentia Methodology. An analysis of the treatment carried out on 846 orthodontic patients aged 5 to 15 years with various occlusion pathologies accompanied by adenitia in 10-years period was performed. All patients were treated at the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Orthodontics and Prevention of Dental Diseases, Izhevsk State Medical Academy. Results. All children were divided into 7 groups according to the classification proposed by us «Method of classification of clinical adentia» 08.25 from 18.03.2025. The scope of diagnostic, preventive and curative activities in each of the groups was of interest, since the general clinical feature for all children was the absence of a tooth at the initial examination. For each group, a rehabilitation algorithm of management of the dental patient with diagnosed clinical adentia was formed, including a set of diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic measures. The compiled rehabilitation algorithms showed that at all stages (diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic) there are both the same activities characteristic of all children and different ones specific to children of a particular group. Conclusion. Thus, an analysis of the treatment and prevention activities carried out in children with clinical adentia showed that, despite the common clinical feature, a different approach is required in their tactics. The lack of preventive measures in a timely manner necessitates an increase in the volume of treatment measures.
