Abstract

The high prevalence of periodontal disease requires the development of effective treatment and prevention measures in teenagers and young adults who smoke. Purpose - to study the effectiveness of the proposed local treatment of inflammatory periodontal disease in teenagers and young adults who smoke. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, changes in periodontal tissues before and after treatment were studied in 123 teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 24 years, which were divided into groups: group I involved 31 people who regularly smoke traditional cigarettes; to group II - 26 people who regularly smoke electronic cigarettes (Weipi); to group III - 30 people who regularly smoke tobacco heaters (IQOS); to group IV - 36 people without a bad habit of smoking. The dynamics of OHI-S, PMA and PBI indices before and after treatment with the proposed method of treatment - a combination of Stomolik solution and Holisal gel in comparison with the generally accepted treatment was analyzed. Results. During the treatment process, a positive trend of the studied indices was registered in all observation groups, but the best results were registered in the groups where the proposed local treatment was used, which is confirmed by the data of the objective survey. Conclusions. Comparison of the results of local treatment of inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues in the observation groups with different methods indicates the advantages of the proposed method of treatment - a combination of Stomolik solution and Holisal gel. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local ethics committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the author. Key words: teenagers and young adults, catarrhal gingivitis, local treatment, smoking.
