Abstract

Subject. The article compares treatment options for patients with traumatic lesions of the oral mucosa, associated with removable orthopedic devices. The oral mucosa is constantly affected with mechanical factors. The excessive and prolonged presence of a traumatic factor leads to an imbalance of the body defenses and damaging effects and the formation of decubital ulcers. Such patients need timely elimination of irritants and medical treatment of the resulting damage to the oral mucosa in the denture-supporting area. Objectives ― determination of the effectiveness of various methods of treatment of decubital lesions of the oral mucosa in the denture-supporting area. Methods. 300 patients using removable prostheses between the ages of 35 and 45 years were examined. Complications of traumatic genesis of the oral mucosa in the form of decubital ulcers were revealed in 267 people. The subjects were divided into three groups of 89 people, each of which used a unique method for the treatment of decubital lesions. Results. The use of various techniques for the treatment of decubital lesions of the oral mucosa, including symptomatic therapy, correction of a removable prosthesis, or a combination of them, has led to positive results. According to the results of monitoring of patients from different groups, different degrees of epithelialization of the decubital lesions of the oral mucosa in the denture-supporting area were detected for particular periods of time during the month. Conclusions. During determining the effectiveness of various methods of treatment of decubital lesions of the oral mucosa in the denture-supporting area, the positive effect of the combination therapy was revealed in comparison with the monoline methods.
