Analysis of the provision of paradontology in the Armed forces of the Russian Federation

Abstract

A statistical study of the appeal to the dental clinic of S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy patients who were diagnosed with chronic generalized periodontitis, as well as the analysis of treatment methods for inflammatory periodontal diseases in the Armed Forces based on data from the Main Military Medical Directorate for 2012-2018. Analysis of treatment methods for chronic generalized periodontitis in the military unit indicates the choice of a radical method - tooth extraction. Most patients who applied to the clinic of maxillofacial surgery and surgical dentistry were diagnosed with a severe degree of chronic generalized periodontitis. Basically, patchwork operations were performed on the upper jaw and lower jaw. The proportion of patients with moderate severity of chronic generalized periodontitis prevailed in the dental clinic. In the conditions of the dental clinic, no flap periodontal operations were performed, most often the method of curettage of periodontal pockets was used, which was carried out to improve the quality of the intervention according to classical recommendations in the field of several teeth, including using high-tech equipment. Timely and high-quality comprehensive treatment of inflammatory periodontal diseases is the basis for successful activities to reduce periodontal morbidity and improve oral health in military personnel. Due to the relevance of inflammatory periodontal diseases in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the choice of treatment method should be based on etiological and pathogenetic therapy, dentists should abandon the radical method of tooth extraction.
