Pharmacological studies of the dental gel of combined composition

Abstract

In recent decades, there has been a worldwide trend of steady growth of various dental pathologies, among which the leading place is occupied by diseases of the periodontium and oral mucosa, as well as lesions of similar etiologies that occur when using prostheses of different designs. According to the results of numerous epidemiological studies by both domestic and foreign authors, the largest and most common group of periodontal diseases is inflammatory ones – gingivitis, periodontitis and parodontosis, which account for 94–96 % of all periodontal diseases. Thus, according to medical statistics, only 12 % of the population has a healthy periodontium, 53 % have initial inflammatory phenomena, 23 % have initial destructive changes, and 12 % have moderate and severe lesions. In persons older than 35 years, the proportion of initial periodontal changes progressively decreases by 26–15 % with a simultaneous increase in moderate and severe changes to 75 %, which are dominated by inflammatory-destructive changes of the periodontal complex with bleeding gums, pus, formation of periodontal pockets, loosening of teeth and their subsequent loss.
