Abstract

To study the dental status, patients’ complaints and data from a clinical examination of the oral cavity were taken into account, which included: external examination of the lips and corners of the mouth, assessment of the condition of various parts of the oral mucosa. Patients complained about discomfort in the oral cavity, dry mouth, tightness of the lips, soreness in the corners of the mouth, burning and tingling sensation in the tongue, changes in taste, coated tongue, roughness of the oral mucosa. The course of HCV is significantly aggravated by poor oral hygiene, which increases the risk of developing local inflammatory changes. This justifies the need for early dental examination of patients with HCV to improve the effectiveness of treatment and prevention of oral diseases. Thus, in a comparative study of lesions of the oral cavity and periodontium before and after treatment for viral hepatitis C, it was found out that the main symptoms significantly undergo dynamics towards improvement and are detected at a lower frequency.
