IMPROVEMENT OF SURGICAL METHODS OF TREATMENT OF CHRONIC PERIODONTITIS

Abstract

Treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis is one of the most complex and important tasks of modern dentistry. The frequency of pulp and periodontal diseases in children and adults currently does not tend to decrease. Epidemiological data on the study of endodontic lesions of teeth show that out of 37 examined orthopantomograms in patients with no clinical manifestations of endodontic diseases, 78.9% revealed destructive changes at the root tip or root canal filling was observed. On average, there were 3 endodontic teeth per person. In the structure of the therapeutic reception, 35% are visits for pulpitis and periodontitis. Completed endodontic treatment is often mistaken for success. While, even with technically perfect root canal filling, the pathological focus in the periapical tissues persists for a long time, creating the risk of relapses and complications. The need for re-treatment of the canals of the teeth exceeds the need for their primary treatment.
