EFFECTIVENESS OF TREATMENT OF CHRONIC GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS USING PHOTODYNAMIC AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY THERAPY

Abstract

Inflammatory periodontal diseases remain an unsolved problem of modern medicine due to the high prevalence and insufficient effectiveness of treatment. The study examined the effectiveness of photodynamic and anti-inflammatory therapy in the treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity. The study material was the results of a comprehensive dental examination and treatment of 90 patients aged 30 to 49 years. For treatment, Asepta balm, photodynamic therapy (FotoSan 630 device), etoricoxib (Arcoxia) were used for follow-up periods of up to six months using periodontal indices. The high efficiency of treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate severity with a combination of photodynamic and anti-inflammatory therapy has been proven. This combination increased the effectiveness of treatment, compared with single-component antimicrobial therapy by 29.9%.
