Oral Viral Load of Sars-Cov-2 and Exacerbation of Chronic Periodontal Disease in Patients With Novel Coronavirus Infection (Covid-19)

Subject. The imposed restrictions on doctor visits caused by the pandemic Covid-19 and the severe course of the new coronavirus infection have changed the structure of dental care encounters. Objective of the study is to conduct a structural and quantitative analysis of dental care encounters of patients with the previous new coronavirus infection Covid-19. Methodology. A clinical and statistical patient chart was developed for this study. The initial encounters were analyzed in the period from March 2020 to December 2021. We have studied the frequency and structure of dental disease causes in patients who had recovered from the new coronavirus infection Covid-19 depending on the peaks of the Covid-19 incidence. In addition, the age and sex structure, the presence of concomitant diseases, and indicators of the oral cavity state were studied in the main group of patients: the decay-missing-filled index, mouth hygiene index, lesions of the oral mucosa, and regional lymph nodes reaction. The obtained data were processed with the statistical program Statistica 6.0, and differences in subgroups were analyzed according to the Student's t-test: the critical significance level was taken at p ≤ 0.05 when testing statistical hypotheses. Results. This study showed the dependence of the causes, frequency, and structure on pandemic periods. The predominance of the reasons for encounters changed in different periods of the pandemic. Besides, the age structure of patients changed in some periods of the pandemic. At the same time, no dependence of medical encounters on gender composition and comorbidities was observed. Conclusion. This study showed a high level of spread of the carious process. The level of the hygiene index was initially satisfactory, but also moved towards unsatisfactory. Enlargement of lymph nodes and the spread of lesions of the oral mucosa tended to increase during 2020–2021.

The purpose of the research: to study the hygienic condition of the oral cavity and clinical manifestations of diseases of the oral mucosa in patients with COVID-19 in a hospital setting and to justify the need to motivate early hygienic measures using a toothbrush and toothpaste in this contingent of patients. Material and methods. We observed 43 patients of the infectious diseases department of the Simferopol clinic aged 21–25 years with COVID-19 of mild and moderate severity. All patients underwent a comprehensive dental examination with the determination of the Green–Vermillion index, the PMA index. Particular attention was paid to the hygiene products used and the regime of hygienic measures before and during hospital stay. Results and their discussion. It was found that 67.44% of the surveyed brushed their teeth with different frequency of use of a toothbrush and toothpaste. Before admission to the hospital, 93.02% of patients brushed their teeth regularly 2 times a day. 27.91% used cleaning tampons and a mouthwash, 4.65% of the surveyed did not brush their teeth. A significant increase in the hygiene index and the PMA index was revealed in patients of groups 1 and 2 who do not use a toothbrush and paste for oral care (p < 0.001). In 27.91% of patients, changes in the lips and oral mucosa was noted: 4.65% – recurrent labial herpes, 4.65% – desquamative glossitis, aphthous rashes – 16.28%, lichenoid manifestations – 2.32% of the examined. Healing of aphthous lesions of oral mucosa in patients who brushed their teeth was noted on the day 5–10, and in patients who did not brush their teeth – on 15th day. Conclusions. The data obtained in our research indicate the need for active motivation of patients with COVID-19 in a hospital setting for early hygienic measures with the mandatory use of a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Subject. Clinical and cytological manifestations of a new coronavirus infection in the oral cavity. Objectives. Identification, description and systematization of the main clinical and laboratory manifestations of a new coronavirus infection in the oral cavity in older patients. Methodology. The clinical study involved 50 elderly (60–74 years old) and senile (75–90 years old) patients who visited a dentist after an infection from September 2020 to February 2022. Study group 1 included patients with dystrophic syndrome, study group 2 – with inflammatory periodontal syndrome, study group 3 – with occlusive syndrome. Patients underwent dental and general clinical examination. The cytological study included an assessment of the cytoplasmic and karyological abnormalities level, calculating the integral indices of the buccal cytogram. Results. Most often, dental manifestations of a new coronavirus infection occur in older patients. All manifestations in the oral cavity are nonspecific, and the pathognomonic syndrome has not been established. The most common clinical manifestations are candidiasis, exacerbation of chronic periodontitis, exacerbation of herpes infection, etc. The cytological changes in the buccal epithelium reflect a general trend towards an increase in degenerative-dystrophic changes in cells, the predominance of apoptosis processes. Conclusion. Patients with dystrophic syndrome showed the greatest polymorphism of clinical manifestations associated with a new coronavirus infection (candidiasis in 59%, exacerbation of herpes infection in 47% of patients). In patients with inflammatory periodontal syndrome, exacerbation of chronic periodontitis was noted in 100% of cases. In patients with occlusive syndrome, there is an aggravation of the teeth hyperesthesia. Analysis of the integral indices of the buccal cytogram showed signs of accumulation of cytogenetic disorders after the infection.
