Modern Scientific View on the Optimization of Treatment of Periodontal Diseases

Abstract

The article presents a retrospective review of professional domestic and foreign literature on modern aspects of treatment of inflammatory periodontal diseases, including vector therapy, plasmalifting, which can be used in various forms of this pathology. Periodontal diseases are one of the most pressing problems of dentistry, which has not only general but also great social significance, due to the high prevalence, intensity of the process, the subsequent formation of chronic odontogenic foci of infection, tooth loss at a young age and adverse effects on the body. Treatment of periodontal disease is a complex and lengthy process that includes general methods of influencing the pathophysiological processes occurring in the body, both local - therapeutic, orthopedic and surgical measures. Before planning treatment, the dentist should determine the patient's medical and dental history, conduct clinical and radiological examinations, determine the degree of loss of the alveolar ridge, functional disorders of the dental system and the possibility of their correction. Depending on this, determine the plan of treatment and rehabilitation measures, the sequence of medical interventions. The main task of periodontal treatment is to optimize the conditions for maintaining a healthy dentition and restoring its physiological functions. The difficulty of treating inflammatory periodontal diseases is that known and standard methods (antibacterial therapy and courses of local therapy) do not always give a positive result and a long period of remission. Therefore, to improve the quality of medical care for patients with periodontal pathology, it is necessary to introduce new innovative methods of treatment in dental practice. Given the patterns of pathophysiological processes occurring in periodontal tissues and bone tissue of the alveolar process, to date, several stages of treatment and rehabilitation measures have been proposed. The first stage is the elimination of the pathogenic action of microbial factors and inflammatory processes in periodontal tissues. Microbial invasion and the inflammatory reaction of periodontal tissues caused by it activate the processes of osteoclastical bone resorption. The task of the second stage of treatment and rehabilitation measures is to restore the physiological structure of gums and bone by normalizing metabolic processes in periodontal tissues, reducing the activity of resorption processes and stimulating reparative osteogenesis in the bone tissue of the alveolar process and the body in general, surgical treatment. At the third stage of treatment and rehabilitation measures, teeth with a significant degree of atrophy of the alveolar process are removed, which cannot be used for prosthetics. To restore the integrity of the dentition, even distribution of masticatory load, appropriate prosthetics are performed. The use of the latest methods contributes to the effective treatment of periodontal disease in the early stages, stabilization of the process at deeper stages, in some cases helps to avoid surgery.
