In this article, patients’ problems in the rehabilitation period after reconstructive operations on the soft tissues of the oral cavity are analyzed. The performed manipulations are associated with neg-ative emotions of a person, complicating the establishment of trusting relationship with a doctor, which ultimately can affect a course of the wound process in the postoperative period. The doc-tor’s ability to convince a patient and set him to a positive solution to problems plays an im-portant role in the emotional discharge at the stages of surgical treatment and after it. The speci-ficity of the patients of a dental surgeon is based on the conflicting desire to have a beautiful smile and an agreement to surgical treatment. The decisive element is the relationship established between a doctor and a patient on a clinical visit. These relationships ultimately determine the result of the treatment. Any damage to the oral mucosa will cause pain syndrome of different severity, making the patient suffer. Keeping the patient’s psychological health in balance is a rather complex and important step that improves the quality of life. In the process of rehabilitation, one should not exclude the involvement of clinical psychologists to reduce emotional stress. It is important to create special rooms in dental clinics for psychological consulting, taking patients out of stress, emotional discharge and correction of the emotional state. Further search for new stress-protective agents and methods available for use by a dentist himself is a promising direction in the rehabilitation of patients after reconstructive operations on the soft tissues of the oral cavity.

Subject. The article presents the results of a comprehensive method for the treatment of acute perforated maxillary sinusitis using the developed surgical method for eliminating perforation with a subepithelial vascular palatal flap with simultaneous use of PRF. The effectiveness of the proposed method of treatment was confirmed by x-ray data characterizing the intensity of the inflammatory reaction caused by surgery, morphological parameters of soft tissues in the alveolar process of the upper jaw in the area of intervention and the state of the maxillary sinus before and 3 months after surgery. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of subepithelial vascular palatal flap and PRF in the complex treatment of acute odontogenic perforated maxillary sinusitis. Methodology. An assessment and comparative analysis of the activity of the inflammatory process caused by surgery, as well as the study and comparison of the morphological parameters of the alveolar ridge (the depth of the vestibule of the oral cavity, the width of the keratinized gums, and the thickness of the mucous membrane), the X-ray data evaluating the state of the maxillary sinus, before and after 3 months were carried out. after surgical procedures. The study involved 50 patients with acute perforated maxillary sinusitis (J01.0), who were divided into two groups: the main and comparisons. In the main group (25 people), a new developed method of surgical treatment was used (a method of subepithelial vascularized palatal flap with simultaneous use of PRF), in the comparison group (25 people), the traditional method of complex treatment, including a mobilized mucoperiosteal cheek flap to eliminate perforation of the maxillary sinus . Results. Based on the analysis of the data, pronounced manifestations of the inflammatory process of the postoperative period and negative treatment results using the traditional technique, which were absent in the treatment of patients with the developed surgical method, were revealed. Findings. An analysis of the results obtained during the study revealed the high efficiency of the developed method in comparison with the traditional one.

The paper presents the results of the original method of elimination of oroantral fistulas in comparison with the “classical” mobilized buccal mucoposteal flap. Evaluation of the described techniques is carried out on the basis of fixed parameters. This article also describes the long-term results of various methods of plastic surgery.
