Abstract

BACKGROUND: Optimized use of removable dental prosthesis and enhancement of the adaptation period to such orthopedic substituting dental constructions in the oral cavity are the actual aims of practical stomatology.
 AIM: This study aimed to estimate the psychological state of patients in the process of adaptation to removable dental prostheses and to assess the influence of dental prosthesis fixation on the optimization of adaptation for them.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the case of psychosensoryanatomicalfunctional maladaptation syndrome, the psychological states of 35 people with partial and 38 with complete tooth loss before and during the adaptation period of their dental rehabilitation for removable acrylic dentures were assessed. The study groups were divided into two subgroups, depending on the method used to improve the fixation of dentures.
 RESULTS: During the initial examination, all study patients with partial or complete tooth loss had impaired adaptability to these conditions, mainly due to anatomical and functional disorders of the masticatory apparatus. During the adaptation period, an improvement in the psychological status of the patients was noted, especially in those who used the cream for fixation of dentures for domestic production.
 CONCLUSION: During their adaptation to the removable partial and full dentures, patients are recommended to use the prescribed cream to improve their fixation and thereby allow the reduction of painful symptoms from the prosthetic bed tissues and significantly improve the psychological status of the patients during the adaptation period.

Protective periodontitis: the possibility of prevention

“…Следует подчеркнуть, что в ранее проведенных нами исследованиях было установлено, что применение крема «АСЕПТА РARODONTAL» с экстрактом лекарственных трав для фиксации протезов у пациентов, пользующихся съемными протезами на протяжении адаптационного периода, способствовало снижению уровня воспаления в ротовой полости и повышению мукозального иммунитета, о чем свидетельствовало увеличение синтеза sIgА, а также динамика показателей цитокинового статуса, полученных при исследовании ротовой жидкости. У носителей протезов, приме-нявших крем для фиксации зубных протезов «АСЕПТА РARODONTAL», отмечались снижение выявляемости в материале, полученном из полости рта, Candida albicans как основного возбудителя, ассоциированного с протезным стоматитом [7] и лучшие показатели психологического состояния организма [8,9].…”
