Prevention of periodontal inflammation in the daily practice of a dentist

Abstract

According to the WHO, about 95% of the adult population of the planet and 80% of children have some or other signs of periodontal disease. Despite significant advances in the study of dental diseases, periodontal inflammation continues to be a serious problem. Periodontal diseases provoke complications in the form of premature loss of teeth, the development of pathological conditions in the maxillofacial system [2, 3]. The high prevalence of this pathology, the low effectiveness of treatment and prevention lead to significant changes in the maxillofacial system, complications of comorbid pathology of the digestive system. This condition contributes to a decrease in the body's resistance and worsens the patient's quality of life, and traditional hygiene measures in patients with inflammation in the oral cavity may be ineffective [4]. There is a need for a comprehensive approach to the processes of physiological cleaning of periodontal tissues, which will radically help to increase the effectiveness of treatment and prevention in patients with periodontal disease.
Therefore, the purpose of the article is to optimize the natural protective mechanisms of cleaning oral cavity tissues at the stages of treatment and rehabilitation of inflammatory periodontal phenomena with the help of a complex of measures with the inclusion of the preparation of plant origin based on foxglove «Paragel». In patients with a different clinical course of generalized periodontitis against the background of the use of a therapeutic and preventive complex with the additional inclusion of an alcoholic solution of foxglove in the form of a gel preparation «Paragel» not only the normalization of the hygienic index was observed, but also positive changes in the periodontium, which was manifested by a faster elimination of inflammation (on the 5-6th day), as well as an improvement in the immune status (up to the 10-12th day of treatment).
