Abstract

Relevance. Infrared thermometry refers to one of the most modern and safe methods of diagnosing the inflammatory process, allowing to determine the localization of the pathological process by measuring the temperature with subsequent registration of the human body's own thermal radiation in the infrared zone of the electromagnetic spectrum. The aim of the study is to study the condition of the mucous membrane under the bases of removable prostheses made using digital technologies using infrared thermometry. Materials and methods. The clinical study involved 46 patients (23 men and 23 women) aged 44 to 74 years with partial and complete loss of teeth, who underwent orthopedic treatment with arc and full removable prostheses made using traditional and digital technologies. The study of the thermometric parameters of the prosthetic bed, followed by a graphical display of the results, was carried out using the CEM®-ThermoDiagnostics complex. Results. The highest indicators of infrared thermometry of the prosthetic bed of the toothless alveolar process and the vault of the palate in comparison with the control group were found in patients with partial and complete loss of teeth who used removable dentures (p < 0,0021). At the same time, it was found that in patients using removable prostheses made by the traditional method, thermometry indicators were higher in comparison with patients who used prostheses made using digital technologies (p < 0,0021). Conclusion. Infrared thermometry made it possible to obtain reliable differences and determine the boundaries of the inflammatory response of the mucous membrane of the prosthetic bed under removable prostheses made using traditional and digital technologies and to establish that the use of removable prostheses made using digital technologies can significantly reduce the inflammatory response of the mucous membrane to the impact of the removable prosthesis basis. However, this reaction does not completely disappear, which indicates a partial preservation of the side effect of the bases of removable prostheses on the tissue of the prosthetic bed, due to an unusual method of transmitting masticatory pressure on the tissues of the prosthetic bed.
