Providing dental care to cancer patients has been and remains very relevant. Studies of the oral cavity in this category of patients have found a high prevalence of dental disease and, as a consequence, a significant need for dental care. Chemotherapy can cause complications such as stomatitis, mucositis, exacerbation of chronic pulpitis, and periodontitis. Patients with an unsanctioned oral cavity run the risk of developing these complications, unlike patients who regularly visit the dentist.
The aim of our work was to study the features of endodontic treatment of patients with malignant neoplasms receiving chemotherapy treatment and to confirm the use of atraumatic and conservative methods of treatment of periapical inflammatory processes.
The results obtained confirm that the elimination of infection in the root canal of the teeth leads to the regeneration of periapical lesions of bone tissue. The size of the lesion does not affect the tactics of treatment.
According to WHO, up to 75% of the population in different regions of the world are affected by the partial absence of teeth. Clinical observations show that in most cases, the cause of adentias is generalized periodontitis. According to researchers, from 5 to 20% of the population suffers from severe periodontitis, and from the mild to moderate periodontitis, the majority of adults. Moreover, periodontitis is associated with other serious conditions such as coronary heart disease, head and neck carcinoma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The aim of our study was to establish prognostically significant molecular biochemical criteria in the planning of implantological and orthopedic treatment of patients with periodontal tissue disorders and defects in the dentition.
40 patients were selected for the study. Among them, 10 healthy patients comprised the control group and 30 major patients with periodontal tissue disorders. Among them are 10 patients with grade I, 10 patients with grade II, 10 patients with grade III parodontitis and dentition defects.
Determination of the level of biological markers of the oral fluid is a promising diagnostic method, does not require special training from a dentist, is a minimally invasive technique, and will allow to evaluate the current state of prosthetic bed tissues, which will allow rational planning of the type of orthopedic rehabilitation of dental patients.
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.
