Abstract
The majority of periodontal visits in dental care to the population are made up of patients in the elderly age group (according to the WHO classification, these include persons 60–74 years old). Features of periodontal treatment of elderly people require a new approach to standard treatment regimens. In recent years, treatment with the «Vector» device (Dürr Dental, Germany) has found widespread use in periodontal consultations. The purpose of the study is to determine the volume of periodontal care for the elderly population in the State Medical Institution of the RO «SP» in Rostov-on-Don in dynamics from 2020 to 2022 using the «Vector» device. Results of the study: periodontal doctors performed ultrasonic removal of supragingival and subgingival dental plaque in the area of one tooth (using the Vector apparatus) in 2020, 1825 services, and in 2022 2562, which is 737 services more than in 2020, At the same time, 1241 services were performed for elderly people in 2020, and in 2022 there were 552 more services.Conclusion: the use of the «Vector» device in addition to traditional treatment regimens for chronic generalized periodontitis in elderly patients accelerates periodontal recovery time.
