MODERN APPROACHES TO EARLY DETECTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC METHODS FOR TEETHING SYNDROME IN CHILDREN

Main Article Content
Abstract
While the eruption of primary teeth is a natural stage in every child's life, its symptoms are often confused with those of other, more serious childhood illnesses. This phenomenon, known as "diagnostic overshadowing," can delay the timely diagnosis and treatment of dangerous pathologies such as pneumonia, meningitis, or sepsis. The subjectivity of existing diagnostic methods and the lack of clear criteria exacerbate this problem. Therefore, improving the methods for early detection and differential diagnosis of teething syndrome using objective, scientifically-based approaches is a relevant and urgent task in pediatrics and pediatric dentistry.
