GINGIVOTOMY AS THE BASIS OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS IN THE DENTAL OFFICE OF THE MEDICAL ITEMOF THE MILITARY UNIT

Abstract

Objective. Justification of the effectiveness of the use of gingivotomy as the basis of a minimally invasive method of treating chronic generalized periodontitis in the work of a dentist at a medical unit of a military unit. Materials and methods. A statistical analysis of the performance of dental offices for 2017-2019 was carried out according to the data of the Main Military Medical Directorate according to Form 3/MED. The number of surgical interventions for chronic generalized periodontitis was studied. On the basis of the dental clinic of the Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov was performed statistical processing of treatment data for chronic generalized periodontitis based on the documentation of an outpatient appointment for 2017-2019. Processing statistical data of the study was carried out using the program for working with spreadsheets Microsoft Excel 2016. As a minimally invasive surgical technique aimed at eliminating periodontal pockets, it is proposed to use a modification of the gingivotomy operation with the introduction of Osteomatrix and suturing in the military unit. Results of the study. During statistical data processing it was found that the main method of treating chronic generalized periodontitis in the military unit is tooth extraction. In a polyclinic unit (using the example of a dental clinic of the Kirov Military Medical Academy) tooth extraction for periodontitis is carried out strictly according to indications, curettage of periodontal pockets prevails among surgical interventions. A clinical example of minimally invasive surgical treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis, based on the method of gingivotomy, shows the most effective result in a limited time. Conclusion. It is necessary to improve periodontal care in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, especially in the military unit. Gingivotomy is the optimal minimally invasive surgical intervention in the complex treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis in the dental office of a medical unit of a military unit (1 figure, bibl iography: 11 refs).
