Long-term results of generalized periodontitis treatment among 2nd year medical university students with increased level of emotional sensitivity

Abstract

Introduction. In recent years, psychosocial factors, mental ex- haustion and stress have been considered by experts from WHO and the International Labor Organization as an important factor affecting the health of young people all over the world. The high level of psycho-emotional stress associated with information overload, the acceleration of life pace, unfavorable learning conditions, contributes to the increase in the prevalence of periodontal tissue diseases. Aim. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of long-term usage of the nootropic drug “Noofen” in complex treatment of generalized periodontitis among 2nd year medical university students with increased level of emotional sensitivity. Material and methods. 70 students with initial-I stage generalized periodontitis and increased and high levels of emotional sensitivity were observed. Clinical indices PMA, BI, OHI-S and the level of MDA and SOD in saliva were detected. Results. All data of clinical indices (PMA, BI, OHI-S) and prooxidant-antioxidant system state (MDA and SOD) was improved after treatment in both groups (p < 0.001), despite that I group results in a long-term, where advanced treatment was performed, was much more better than in II group (p < 0.001). Conclusions. As a result of treatment we obtained significantly better results in group, where improved treatment was used. It is confirmed by long-term stabilization of clinical trials and biochemical parameters of oral fluid.
