EFFECTS OF SMALL DOSES OF RADON DURING THE USE OF REMOVABLE ORTHOPEDIC STRUCTURES IN DENTAL PRACTICE

Abstract

From the obtained results, we can conclude that small doses of radon or radon hormesis have a positive effect even in the following weeks, which was clearly seen on patients living in Tskaltubo who use Tskaltubo water for swab, where adaptation to removable prostheses was seen already after 1 week and completely in 2 weeks and following weeks, which we could not say about the patients living in Tbilisi where adaptation started after 4 weeks, e.g. 28.9% did not fit the prosthesis even after 2 months and it became even more difficult in the following period and it was mostly found in the upper jaw and palate areas. Thus, it can be concluded that Tskaltubo's radon-containing water has a hormetic effect, and its positive effect is noticeable in the pressure areas of the removable prosthesis after two weeks, which was observed in patients with a high degree of adaptation.
