Aim. To optimize the conditions, necessary for elimination of inflammatory phenomena in parodontium tissues Materials and methods. Fifty practically healthy and socially adapted patients (age range 16 to 40 years) with uncomplicated mandibular fractures participated in the study. Results. The studies showed that among patients with two-jaw dental splints, who experienced traditional complex treatment, the main clinical indices did not change throughout the period of observations. Infrared laser light applied reduced the severity of inflammation in the tissues of marginal parodontium. Conclusions. The obtained results permit to recommend complex medical effect on the parodontium tissues for patients with intraoral fixing constructions. This effect is aimed at correction of the oral cavity hygiene and multifactor pathogenetic action of infrared laser light, making it possible to stabilize significantly the state of parodontium tissues in unfavorable conditions of intermaxillary fixation in patients with mandibular fractures.

The study aims at identifying and highlighting dental anxiety in a group of young adults, analyzing patients� concerns about the main dental treatment procedures, and establishing statistical relationships between anxiety and gender, the background, level of education, socio-economic status and knowledge of habits of care and hygiene of oral cavity characteristic of the studied group. The study group consists of 150 female (50%) and male (50%) patients , aged between 20 and 40 years. The inclusion criteria in the batch were those related to the age range of 20 to 40 years.Two respondents (Corah�s Dental Anxiety Scale, Revised (DAS-R)) were given two questionnaires ( Corah�s Dental Anxiety Scale, DAS-R), and the second questionnaire contained 7 questions about the habits dental care). Most patients� concerns about the main procedures of dental treatment / other concerns are: dental extraction, material expenses, possibility of treatments and shame she felt oppressed health of the oral cavity. Regardless of the level of dental anxiety, the oral cavity hygiene habits are not properly performed by patients, with an increased tendency for them to be disregarded by patients with severe dental anxiety.

Plaque control is one of the key elements in dental practice. The proper plaque controlfacilitates the health return for patients with gingival and periodontal deseases. Theconcept of using chemical agents to treat such conditions in the mouth has been widelyaccepted as part of dental practice for hundred of years. Chemotherapeutic agents forlocal use in the oral cavity are available in many forms over the years. The variousproduct categories and criteria for dental practice are reviewed, and consumer selectionsare suggested. To date, two agents have been accepted by The American DentalAssociation (ADA) for treatment of gingivitis: chlorhexidine mouthwash and essential oilmouthwash.

ABSTRACT Human body microbes interact with the host, forming microbial communities that are in continual flux during the aging process. Previous studies have mostly focused on surveying a single body habitat to determine the age-related variation in the bacterial and fungal communities. A more comprehensive understanding of the variation in the human microbiota and mycobiota across multiple body habitats related to aging is still unclear. To obtain an integrated view of the spatial distribution of microbes in a specific Mediterranean population across a wide age range, we surveyed the bacterial and fungal communities in the skin, oral cavity, and gut in the young, elderly, and centenarians in Sardinia using 16S rRNA gene and internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) sequencing. We found that the distribution and correlation of bacterial and fungal communities in Sardinians were largely determined by body site. In each age group, the bacterial and fungal communities found in the skin were significantly different in structure. In the oral cavity, age had a marginal impact on the structures of the bacterial and fungal communities. Furthermore, the gut bacterial communities in centenarians clustered separately from those of the young and elderly, while the fungal communities in the gut habitat could not be separated by host age. IMPORTANCE Site-specific microbial communities are recognized as important factors in host health and disease. To better understand how the human microbiota potentially affects and is affected by its host during the aging process, the fundamental issue to address is the distribution of microbiota related to age. Here, we show an integrated view of the spatial distribution of microbes in a specific Mediterranean population (Sardinians) across a wide age range. Our study indicates that age plays a critical role in shaping the human microbiota in a habitat-dependent manner. The dynamic age-related microbiota changes we observed across multiple body sites may provide possibilities for modulating microbe communities to maintain or improve health during aging.

This paper begins our review paper on the multiple-photon excitation of molecules by intense infrared laser light. The whole review will be given in installments. In this first part we bring forward certain general concepts on spectroscopy, molecular physics and chemical kinetics essential for understanding the later material.
