Evaluation of effectiveness of treatment-and-prophylactic complex in tobacco-addicted patients with chronic generalized periodontitis on the background of chronic hyperacid gastritis

Abstract

The aim: To evaluate the clinical efficacy oftreatment-and-prophylactic complex in patients addicted to tobacco with chronic gen era Iced periodontitis with chronic hyperacid gastritis. Materials and methods: 68 patients (men and women) aged 25-44 years were examined. They were distributed into two groups: the main group—48 patients addicted to tobacco with chronic generalized 1 degree periodontitis and chronic hyperacid gastritis, associated with Helicobacter pylori, the control group—20 healthy individuals without bad habits. Patients of the main group were distributed at random into 2 subgroups (1.1,1.2) depending on the chosen therapy. The patients of the subgroup 1.1 received the basic therapy and the developed treatment and prophylactic complex, the subgroup 1.2 received the basic therapy and the ultraphonophoresis procedures with placebo. Assessment of the effectiveness of therapy was carried out by detennining hygienic index OHI-S and periodontal indices (PI, PMA index and Muhlemann bleeding index (MBI)). Results: The usage of the treatment-and-prophylactic complex resulted in improvement of the hygienic index OHI-S and periodontal indices (PI, PMA index and MBI) at the immediate and late observation period. Conclusions: Results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed treatment-and-prophylactic complex in therapy of chronic generalized 1 degree periodontitis in patients addicted to tobacco smoking with chronic hyperacid gastritis.
