Nevertheless, many nosologies in dental practice are closely related to parasitology. Thus, one of the most relevant diseases, periodontitis, is directly related to protozoology. Purpose. To increase the level of motivation among students of the dental faculty when studying the course of parasitology. To draw the attention of professors to the importance of mastering a course of parasitology by dental students. Material and Methods. The analysis of the specialized literature in the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, eLibrary on the prevalence and various manifestations of parasitic diseases in the maxillofacial area. Results. The article for the first time provides a consistent and logical arguments on the importance of studying all sections of parasitology (protozoology, helminthology, entomology) by students of dental faculties. On the clinical cases described in the literature, not only academic, but also practical value of mastering the discipline is demonstrated. Conclusion.
