Abstract

The paper presents the results of a retrospective analysis of the prevalence of diseases of the oral mucosa. It is noted that the high prevalence of various ORS diseases is associated with a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 due to immunopathological changes in the patients body. It is known that patients with OOP diseases represent one of the most difficult groups of patients in dentistry. An increase in the frequency of occurrence of erosive-ulcerative lesions of the ROR was noted, which have different etiology and pathogenesis, while their clinical picture is quite similar. The study was carried out in the dental clinics of Volgograd clinical bases of the Department of Dentistry of the Institute of the NMFO FSBEI HE VolgGMU of the Ministry of Health of Russia. 2719 medical records of a dental patient (form 043y) were studied in the period 20192022. There was a significant dynamic growth, especially in 2022, of inflammatory-destructive pathologies of the COR, as well as the highest prevalence of COR pathologies in middle-aged people. A persistent increase in complicated cases with a generalized spread of pathological elements was revealed, which proves the relevance of searching for new methods for managing these patients.
