The aim: To study the effect of drug addiction and smoking on the status of periodontal tissues in patients with hepatobiliary pathology. Materials and methods: 58 smokers, 63 drug addicts with hepatobiliary pathology were examined and 92 persons of comparison group (with inflammatory periodontal diseases affected by hepatobiliary pathology, without addiction). Examination of patients included determination of iodine number by Svrakov, S-L and Stallard hygiene indices, PMA index and index PBI. Results: The results of examination of smokers are worse in patients with cirrhosis than in patients with chronic toxic hepatitis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and also the results of these two groups was significantly worse than that of the comparison group (iodine number by Svrakov – 1,4 times and 1,3 times higher, PMA index – 1,7 times and 1,4 times worse, in accordance). The results of the study showed that drug addicts patients are worse values in patients with cirrhosis than in patients with chronic toxic hepatitis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and also the results of these two groups was significantly worse than that of the comparison group (iodine number by Svrakov – 1,5 times and 1,4 times higher, PMA index – 1,7 times and 1,5 times worse, in accordance). Conclusions: Presence of hepatobiliary pathology in smokers and drug addicts increases the risk of periodontal diseases.
Tobacco smoking remains one of the most important problems of the present time due to significant prevalence and harmful effects on human health. The area of primary contact with components of tobacco smoke is organs and tissues of the oral cavity, oral fluid. In this regard, there is a theoretical and practical interest in the problem of studying the nature and mechanisms of the damaging effects of tobacco smoke during smoking, in particular, on periodontal tissues. Depending on the duration and intensity of smoking misuse, one of the modern methods of treatment is oxygen-ozonized therapy (ozonotherapy), which reduces the risk of polypragrammia and is well combined with both medicines and phytopreparations. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ozonized sea buckthorn oil on periodontal tissues in tobacco-dependent patients. During the diagnosis, common clinical and paraclinical methods of examination were used, taking into account the results of examination and palpation, determining the depth of periodontal pockets, the degree of gum recession and abnormal movement of the teeth. For the correction of pathogenetic disorders, smokers suffering from GP were prescribed: in the comparative group, a common methodology based on hygiene education and upbringing, removal of local stimuli, orthopedic and surgical indications, as well as physiotherapy and general rehabilitation. In the main group − in addition to the generally accepted technique, applications in the gingival area were applied with ozonized sea buckthorn oil and rinsing the oral cavity with a 0.1% solution of myramystine. In order to enhance the therapeutic effect, the patients were recommended oral baths with sea buckthorn oil enriched with oxygen and toothpaste “Parodontax”. As a result of the application of the proposed therapeutic agent, in patients with GP of I degree a stabilization of the results for direct data was observed after 6 and 12 months after treatment. However, in patients with GP of II degree and III degree, both the main group and the comparison group were diagnosed with an increase in the pathological process with respect to data after treatment and after 6 months (p<0,05). With an increase in the disease, no pattern was found regarding the causes of its recurrence. The best steady result was in a group of ex-smokers with chronic generalized periodontitis in different terms of the study. Improvement of the results of the proposed therapeutic agent application confirms the parodontoprotective properties and the bacteriological action of ozone. It also emphasizes the social significance of the problem of smoking cessation in people with inflammatory-destructive changes in periodontal tissues.
In Ukraine, there is a noticeable tendency to increase the incidence of oral tissue diseases due to the presence of concomitant pathology, the negative impact of environmental factors, namely the presence of bad habits. In recent years, due to numerous clinical studies that have confirmed the effects of smoking on the human body as a whole, leading tobacco companies are making great efforts to develop less harmful nicotine-containing products for public health. These include electronic cigarettes and tobacco heating systems. Research on their effects on human health is still ongoing. And none has an evidentiary answer, including from international organizations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the intensity and prevalence of dental hard tissue diseases and periodontal tissue pathology among people who use tobacco heating systems (GLO and IQOS). Material and methods. The article describes the study results of dental hard tissues and periodontal tissues in 75 patients, including 39 people with nicotine dependence, who were tested for caries intensity, resistance of tooth hard tissues to caries, hygiene index, iodine number of Svrakov and the prevalence of periodontal disease. Results and discussion. We determined that individuals who used tobacco heating systems had the worst values of the studied indicators. The prevalence of periodontal diseases was significantly higher than in the surveyed comparison groups, and the increase in the duration of their use was accompanied by an increase in the incidence of periodontal diseases and their severity. Conclusion. The results of the study proved that the use of tobacco heating systems by patients was a negative factor that increased the intensity of caries, reduced the resistance of hard tissues to caries, deteriorated oral hygiene and provoked the development of inflammatory and dystrophic inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues. The obtained results confirmed the presence of harmful effects on tissues and organs of the oral cavity, provided the use of drains for tobacco heating systems (GLO and IQOS). In our opinion further clinical studies will be promising to provide professional care to thematic patients
There are numerous domestic and foreign studies of periodontal disease in pregnant women, but there are still a number of unresolved issues. The data about the development of periodontal tissue diseases in pregnant women in terms of age is not enough. The purpose of this work was to study the development of periodontal disease in pregnant women in different age groups. Material and methods. A survey of 83 women in the ІІ and ІІІ trimesters of pregnancy, aged 19-45 years, was divided into three groups according to age. Group I (34 people) included pregnant women aged 19-25 years, group II (29 people) had pregnant women aged 26-35 years, group III (20 people) comprised pregnant women aged 36-45 years. Periodontal and hygienic indices were determined to assess the clinical signs of periodontal disease (to assess the clinical signs of periodontal disease, periodontal and hygienic indices were determined (papillary-marginal-alveolar index, degree of bleeding gums, Schiller-Pisarev test, numerical value of Schiller-Pisarev test – Svrakov's number and simplified index of cavity hygiene). Results and discussion. The obtained results indicated a high level of periodontal disease in pregnant women. Periodontal disease was found in 74.7% of subjects. The study found a significant progression of periodontal tissue pathology in pregnant women over 26 years of age, indicating that women in this age group were at significant risk of periodontal disease. The obtained data indicated that the value of the bleeding index was the lowest in pregnant women with periodontal disease of group I, and the highest in women of group III. The value of the PMA index differed 1.3 times (p˂0.05) in pregnant women of groups I and II, 1.2 times (p˂0.05) in women of groups II and III, and 1.5 times (p˂0.05) in pregnant women of groups I and III. In addition, the likelihood of developing periodontal disease increased with age of women. Conclusion. The values of the Svrakov's number had a similar tendency to increase in age groups, as well as the results of the previously described indices. Hygiene in pregnant women of all ages who had periodontal disease was not very good. Thus, special attention should be paid to the timely diagnosis, treatment and prevention of periodontal disease in pregnant women, taking into account their age
