Abstract
The program of standard therapeutic measures in 45 patients with Generalized Chronic Periodontitis (GCP) and background hypertension, group I(a), included hirudotherapy, for comparison, the effectiveness of traditional treatment was evaluated in 40 patients, group I(b), who refused to use medical leeches. In the second comparison group (35 patients), patients with GCP, but normal blood pressure, also received only a set of traditional methods of treatment. The inclusion of hirudotherapy in the program of therapeutic measures in patients with GCP and hypertension makes it possible to optimize the onset of a persistent therapeutic effect, lengthen the period of remission of the pathological process in periodontal disease and significantly improves the quality of life of patients.
Highlights
At the present stage of cardiology development, a comprehensive approach to the treatment of hypertension is being implemented, which is based on drug therapy [1-3]
The effectiveness of traditional treatment was evaluated in 40 patients with generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) on the background of hypertension (group I(b)) who refused to use medical leeches
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of hirudotherapy in combination with standard methods of treatment of generalized chronic periodontitis in patients with hypertension
Summary
At the present stage of cardiology development, a comprehensive approach to the treatment of hypertension is being implemented, which is based on drug therapy [1-3]. Non-drug treatment methods have been increasingly used for hypertension: magnetotherapy, physiotherapy, balneotherapy, etc [4-6]. An important component of the complex therapy of hypertension is an adequate correction of hemorheological and microcirculatory disorders characteristic of the disease in the tissues of the entire body [7]. Most researchers have established a more severe course of pathological processes in the tissues of the dental system with background vascular dystonia [8,9]. The use of a standard arsenal of tools in modern clinical dentistry in the presence of background disorders of systemic hemodynamics cannot achieve complete rehabilitation of the pathological process in periodontitis [10-12]. The problems of effective and pathogenetically justified therapy of generalized chronic periodontitis (GCP) of hypertonia today remain not completely solved [13-16]
