Diagnostic and prognostic and prognostic effectiveness of the dental polymorbidity index for combined lesions of the pulpal-periodontal complex in somatic patients

Abstract

Aim . To evaluate the dental polymorbidity index in combined lesions of the pulp and periodontal complex in somatic patients. Materials and Methods . 75 somatic patients diagnosed with combined lesions of the pulpal-periodontal complex took part in the study. All patients who took part in the study had a stomatological level of health determined using the index of stomatological polymorbidity. The index value was determined according to the following criteria: from 0 to 5 - mild degree of dental polymorbidity, from 6 to 10 - medium degree of dental polymorbidity, and from 11 to 16 - severe degree of dental polymorbidity. Results and discussion . The average value of the stomatological polymorbidity index of mild, moderate, and severe degree in somatic patients with combined lesions of the pulpal-periodontal complex was 29,4%, 41,2%, and 29,4%, respectively. Among the patients of the control group with similar combined lesions, the average value of the stomatological polymorbidity index was 76,0% and 24,0% respectively in the absence of a severe degree of the named index. Conclusion . The present article analyzes the existing methods of accounting, correction, and prediction of somatogenic and somatic conditions of patients. The integrated way of evaluation of combined lesion of the pulp and periodontal complex in patients associated with intersystem disorders has been suggested; it allows a doctor to evaluate objectively the revealed pathology of the oral cavity of endoperiodontal character; to make a complex plan of intracanal and projection-periodontal treatment and to analyze the effectiveness of treatment and prophylactic measures.
