The pathology of the hepatobiliary system significantly affects the state of the organs of the oral cavity. A clinical and index study of the state of periodontal tissues in 122 patients was conducted, which showed the prevalence of periodontal disease in patients with chronic acalculous cholecystitis. The examined patients were divided into groups depending on the treatment method, and the result was evaluated before treatment, directly after treatment and 6 months following treatment. Antidysbiotic hepatoprotector and 2% thiotriazolin ointment were included in the combination therapy. Studies have shown that patients with hepatobiliary pathology have increased likelihood of periodontal diseases, and after treatment, periodontal indicators and the hygiene index are significantly reduced, especially in the group where the proposed scheme was used, and the long-term results were stable for 6 months.
At the present stage of development of medical science, experimental and clinical dentistry is often used in scientific research, which allows diagnosing preclinical stages of manifestations of changes in tissues and organs of the oral cavity and biological fluids at the level of nanotechnology enabling to study the mechanisms of molecular transformation that lead to occurrence of pathological changes. One of the promising methods of research is infrared spectroscopy. The advantage of the method is that the absorption spectrum can be obtained with a small amount of the test substance (0.1–0.01 cm3) and under conditions of different aggregate states (solution, powder, liquid).
Graphical abstract
Silicon-containing (Si-containing) polishing paste has been tested clinically in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis, I-st degree of severity. All patients have been examined for the presence of supra- and sub-gingival calculus and bleeding on probing on a six- month-testing time and within one year after conducting the professional hygienic procedures. It has been revealed that the proposed Si-containing polishing paste proved to be effective in the maintenance of gingival health in the lapse of time from 1 to 12 months after treatment. The majority of patients showed neither dental deposits nor bleeding on probing up in the interval from 1 to 12 months after dental scaling and polishing with Si-containing polishing paste.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
