Prevention of hard dental tissue diseases and periodontal diseases in children is one of the urgent issues of pediatric dentistry. This is especially true for the category of children with psychoneurological pathology. Due to the high prevalence of dental diseases, decreased immunity, and sometimes difficult assess to dental care for children with mental retardation, dental disease prevention is the most effective measure to maintain the normal functioning of the dentofacial apparatus. The results obtained by examining the children with oligophrenia allowed us to work up an algorithm for therapeutic and preventive measures aimed at preventing the development of oral tissue diseases in these children. The algorithm included measures for primary and secondary prevention of periodontal diseases. To assess the efficacy of the algorithm, the study involved a group of 55 mentally impaired children. The control group consisted of 50 children with oligophrenia, who were treated by traditional methods. Taking into account the burdened mental status of the children when developing the individual hygiene regimens, a motivational approach was worked out in co-operation with a psychiatrist and a paediatrician. Evaluation of treatment outcomes in the groups was performed in 1 month after the completion of the full course of treatment and prevention and in long-term intervals, in 6 and 12 months. Clinical evaluation of treatment efficacy was performed according to the following criteria: "normalization", "improvement", "progression". In one month following the regimen proposed, the "normalization" of the affected tissues was diagnosed in 40 children of the main group (72,73 ± 6,06%), p <0,01. The "improvement" of periodontal tissue condition was observed in 10 children (18.18 ± 5.25%), p <0.05. Only 5 children in the main group (9.09 ± 3.91%) failed to demonstrate any positive changes. In 6 months following the application of the treatment and prevention algorithm, the children of the main group demonstrate the "normalization" of periodontal tissue in 65,45 ± 6,47% of cases, while in the children of the control group this indicator was twice lower, 32,00 ± 6.66%, p <0.01. The "improvements" were found in 21.82 ± 5.62% of the children in the main group and in 14.00 ± 4.96% of the children in the control group, p <0.05. No effect of treatment and progression of inflammatory process were observed in 7 children of the main group that was in 4.2 times less than in children of the control group. In long-term follow-up, in 1 year, 61.82 ± 6.61% of children with oligophrenia, who received the treatment and prophylactic measures proposed demonstrated the "normalization" of the periodontal tissue health. In the children treated with standard methods, this indicator was 2.2 times lower (28.00 ± 6.41%), p <0.01. The "improvement" of periodontal condition was recorded in 27.27 ± 6.06% of children in the main group versus 10.00 ± 4.28% of the children in the control group, p <0.01. Treatment for 10.91 ± 4.24% of the children of the main group failed to be effective, but for the children of the control group this indicator was in 5.7 times higher during the long-term observation. The data obtained indicate the lack of effectiveness of standard methods of treatment for chronic catarrhal gingivitis and confirm the high efficiency of the developed algorithm for treatment and prevention of dental diseases in children with oligophrenia. The authors of this article confirm that the research and publication of the results were not associated with any conflicts regarding commercial or financial relations, relations with organizations and/or individuals who may have been related to the study, and interrelations of co-authors of the article.

Goal. Improving the scheme of treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases in workers of the woodworking industry of Chernivtsi region, who in the process of professional activity have long-term contact with unfavorable factors of the production environment. Materials and methods. 70 workers of the woodworking industry with diagnosed chronic generalized periodontitis of the I degree were treated (35 people – the main group (A); 35 people – comparison group (B)), age – from 25 to 45 years. To compare the results of laboratory studies, an additional survey of 25 healthy individuals of the same age with an intact periodontium were conducted. They formed the control group (C). Clinical examination of patients was performed according to standart methods: subjective (complaints, medical history, life history) and objective (examination, periodontal indices, determination of the level of gingival attachment). Laboratory methods of research included determination of urease and lysozyme activity in saliva, degree of dysbiosis of oral cavity. As maintenance therapy, patients of the main group were prescribed the proposed composition DEPE. Results. After the treatment, a significant improvement in the hygienic status of patients in both groups was observed, but difference between groups A and B in the indicators of oral hygiene after treatment was no statistically significant (pA2–B2 > 0.05). There was a significant improvement in periodontal indices after treatment in patients of both groups (PMA index according to C. Parma, bleeding index according to Muhlemann in Cowell I. modification, Russell periodontal index, PSR-test), but the indicators in patients of the main group were significantly better – pA2–B2 < 0.05. In patients of the main group (A) the level of attachment loss decreased by 1.83 times, comparison group (B) – by 1.71 times. The difference in levels of attachment loss after treatment between groups A and B is statistically significant (pA2–B2 < 0.05). The activity of the enzyme urease in patients of the main group (A) and comparison group (B) after treatment was significantly reduced (pA1–A2 < 0.001, pB1–B2 < 0.001), but only in the main group it reached the level in the control group (C) (pA2–C > 0.05). The level of lysozyme after treatment was significantly increased in patients of both observation groups (pA1–A2 < 0.001, pB1–B2 < 0.001), and reached the level of lysozyme in patients of the control group (C) (pA2–C > 0.05, pB2–C > 0.05). The degree of oral dysbiosis in patients of the main group (A) was significantly reduced by 5.43 times (pA1–A2 < 0.001), and its difference from the degree of dysbiosis in patients of the control group (C) is statistically insignificant (pA2–C > 0.05 ). The degree of oral dysbiosis in patients of the comparison group (B) was significantly reduced by 3.04 times (pB1–B2 < 0.001), but still remained significantly different from oral dysbiosis in patients of the control group (C) (pB2–C < 0.05). Conclusion. The proposed pharmacological composition DEPE is an effective antiseptic solution and can be used in the phase of maintenance therapy to improve the treatment and prevention of periodontal disease in workers of woodworking industry. Key words: decamethoxine, propolis, ethonium, generalized periodontitis, woodworking industry.

At the present stage of development of dentistry, the leading Ukrainian and foreign scientists devote a considerable part of the research to a deeper study of the etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms of periodontal tissue diseases and the influence of various exogenous and endogenous factors on their course.The aim of the study – to learn the ability and methods of forecasting and early diagnosis of the periodontal tissue lesions in young people. Materials and Methods. During our research we examined 24 young people with periodontal tissue diseases, who were included to the main group, and 15 healthy people, who formed the control group. The complex clinical examination was performed in each research group. It was studied the distribution of polymorphous variants of the type I parathormone receptor and the α1-chain of collagen gene with a help of polymerase chain reaction by restrictase cleavage of DNA fragments and electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel (AA/BA 29:1). Results and Discussion. The distribution of genotypes by PTHR1 gene in control group was similar to those in main group (p>0.05). Also we didn’t find the difference between frequencies of the separate alleles in people with periodontal tissue pathology and without it (p>0.05). Yes, the repetitions of the allele 5 encoding normal type I parathormone receptor were found more often, comparing with the allele 6 that is responsible for the formation of unfunctional PTHR1 (р<0.001) in both main and control groups. The dominance of the genotype TT, which corresponds to the pathology, was found in young people with the periodontal tissue lesions – (38.46 ± 4.79) %, while among the control group the genotype of norm GG was met the most often – (68.24±5.08) %. Also, the frequency of repetitions of the allele T encoding the imperfect collagen chain was (57.60±3.79) % in young people with periodontal diseases, and in the control group this figure was (13.27±2.81) %, p<0.001.  Conclusions. According to our results the presence of allele T and genotype TT that correspond the imperfect collagen chain may be one of the causes of periodontal tissue pathology.

Objective. To analyze the survival of patients with liver cirrhosis and to assess the effectiveness of endoscopic interventions in the prevention of portal genesis bleedings. Materials and methods. To assess the effectiveness of endoscopic interventions, our study included 449 liver cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension who was admitted with bleeding from varicose veins or the threat of its recurrence for the period from 1996 to 2015. All patients were divided into 2 groups of the study. The main group included 239 patients treated between 2010 and 2015 and the control group consisted of 210 patients in the period from 1996 to 2010. Results. The analysis showed that the percentage of patients without recurrence of bleeding from varicose veins was 27% (33 patients) in the control group and 54.2% (64) in the main group when performing only endoscopic interventions. With the phased tactics of portosystemic shunt performance after endoscopic interventions this figure amounted to 32.4% (45) and 109 (61.6%). In the structure of mortality of patients without cirrhosis in the long-term period (81 patients) with endoscopic interventions recurrence of bleeding were observed in 40.7% (33) cases in the control group and 68.1% (64 of 94) in the main group. In turn, when combined endoscopy and portosystemic shunting in the structure of the patients, without counting deaths from progressive liver cirrhosis, the proportion of absence of recurrence was 45.9% (in 45 of 98 patients) and 71.2% (in 102 out of 153 tracked in the remote period excluding deaths from cirrhosis). In the group of patients that do not carry out any endoscopic intervention and the patients received only conservative therapy only in 3 (10.7%) cases it was possible to avoid recurrence of bleeding, which determines the therapeutic ineffectiveness isolated attempts to reduce the risk of recurrence of hemorrhagic syndrome. Conclusion. Modern possibilities of endoscopic technologies have significantly improved the results of treatment and prevention of varicose bleeding or the threat of its recurrence, and the commitment to the phased tactics, with a combination of minimally invasive and traditional decompressive surgery, allowed to increase the survival rates of patients with 80% to 88% - up to 1 year and from 42% to 64% - to 3 years of follow-up.

The condition of teeth in ancient populations living on the territory of Ukraine has been little studied. The aim of the work is to study the dental status of the 15th century Nogais, and to carry out a comparative analysis of the data obtained with the state of the dento-jaw system of medieval populations that lived on the territory of modern Ukraine in the 9th – early 15th centuries. The object of the study was 48 Nogai skeletons (main group) and 118 representatives of medieval cultures (control group). The research method was a method for analyzing the skeletal tissue of ancient people, developed by the authors. The prevalence and intensity of caries, the prevalence of dento-jaw anomalies, dental calculus and periodontal diseases were studied. Statistical analysis was performed using the Pearson χ2 test. It was found that the prevalence of dental caries in the main group is lower than in the control group (18.75 % and 37.28 % respectively, p<0.05). It was also found that this indicator significantly differed in men of both groups (p<0.05), while in women it did not differ (p>0.1). It was found that in the main group, compared with the control group, the frequency of primary adentia was higher (16.67 % and 6.68 % respectively, p<0.05), but the prevalence of anomalies in the position of individual teeth and occlusion was lower (4.17 % and 21.18 % respectively, p<0.05,). It was found that the prevalence of dental calculus in the main group is two times higher than in the control group (89.50 % and 41.0 % respectively, p<0.0001). Also, 15.0 % of Nogai men showed a decrease in the height of the alveolar process of the jaws, which is characteristic of periodontitis; in women, such changes were not found due to the low average age of survival. Thus, the 15th century Nogai population had a lower prevalence of caries and dento-maxillary anomalies than the medieval populations that lived on the territory of modern Ukraine in the 9th – early 15th centuries.

The abnormalities of maxillodental system take one of the leading places among diseases of the maxillofacial area. Thus, they are diagnosed more than in 50% cases among the younger population and in 30% cases among the adult population.   Most often, there are prerequisites for the incorrect position of individual teeth: anomalies are formed at the genetic level because of heredity of pathologies of size, amount, shape of teeth and size of the jaw bones of the facial skeleton. If the position of the teeth is incorrect, the periodontium retains the occlusal load of the functional injury. Therefore, the aim of our research was to study the prevalence of periodontal tissue diseases in young individuals on the background of crowded teeth. The material and research methods. The study was conducted on the base of Dental Center of Danylo Galytsky Lviv National Medical University during 2015−2017 years. 1146 people at the age from 18 to 44 years were examined. Every participant of research underwent general dental examination, as well as a special examination aimed at clarification of orthodontic treatment. The diagnosis of periodontal tissue diseases was made according to the classification of N. F. Danilevskyi and was determined using paraclinical indicators. The obtained results were worked out statistically using functions of MS Excel and Statistica 6. Results of the research and their discussion. The total number of the examined with orthodontic pathology was found on average in 77.24% of patients (885 people). At the same time, abnormalities of dental jaw system were not detected in about 261 (22.76%) of the examined. As a result of the conducted studies we found that among the examined without dental jaw abnormalities 38.89±.,32% of patients had intact periodontium, that was 1.6 times more for data in individuals with crowding − 23.73±2.00, p<0.01. At the same time, in patients of the main group the prevalence of periodontal tissue diseases was 1.2 times higher than in the examined of the comparative group (76.27±2.00% against 61.11±3.32%, respectively, p<0.01). It should be noted, that with the increase of the age of patients the prevalence of periodontal tissue diseases increased in both study groups, but in patients with crowded teeth this tendency was more pronounced. So, in the younger age group in patients with crowding the prevalence of periodontal diseases was 1.5 times higher in relation to the data of their peers from the comparison group (71.37±3.00% vs. 46.99±5.48%, p<0.01). In 27−35-year-old patients the prevalence of periodontal tissue diseases amounted to 72.38±4.03% of the examined of the main group and 65.62±5.94% of the examined of the comparison group, but the obtained data were not statistically significant, p>0.05. At the same time, in the patients of the main group aged 36−44 years the prevalence of periodontal tissue diseases was maximal and exceeded the value of their peers in the comparison group by 1.2 times (92.08±2.69% vs. 73.91±5.29%, respectively, p<0.01). The analysis of the obtained data allowed to assert that on average crowding of teeth on the upper jaw was found in 237 patients (52.55%) and on the lower jaw in 214 patients (47.45%). Thus, the maximum frequency of crowded teeth on the upper jaw was observed in the examined in the age range of 27−35 years, 60.16±4.41% of patients, with the minimum prevalence of this pathology in the youngest group (18−26 years), 49.34±4, 72%. The analysis of diagnostic structure of periodontal tissue diseases showed that inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues (gingivitis, localized periodontitis) were found in patients with crowded teeth, on average 1.2 times more often than in patients without orthodontic pathology (42.42±1.88% vs. 36.33±3.54%, respectively, p<0.05). Conclusions. Thus, as a result of the conducted studies, higher prevalence of periodontal tissue diseases was proved in patients with crowding of teeth, which made progress in increasing the age of the examined than in patients without orthodontic pathology.

Importance. Exfoliative cheilitis is an inflammatory disease accompanied by damage to the red border of the lips. With dry exfoliative cheilitis, scales form on the lips, which are densely soldered to the underlying tissue in the center, and along the periphery, on the contrary, are raised. At the same time, patients indicate a feeling of dryness, burning. When the exudative form of cheilitis is observed puffiness, sore lips. Diagnosis of exfoliative cheilitis is reduced to the collection of complaints, the preparation of anamnesis of the disease, physical examination. For the treatment of exfoliative cheilitis, Bucca rays, moisturizing creams, acupuncture techniques, as well as agents that increase body resistance are used. As it turned out, in practice, all existing methods of treatment are ineffective, and the disease is manifested by frequent relapses. Pathology is more common in women. The dry form of the disease is mainly detected at the age of 16-40 years. Exudative cheilitis is diagnosed in patients aged 16-65 years. Objectives ― evaluate the effectiveness of lip balm based on lamb fat, and make a conclusion based on the clinical data and patient's subjective sensations. Methods. Twenty patients aged from 18 to 45 years with a diagnosis of exfoliative cheilitis were selected for work. All patients were divided into two groups: control (10 people) and main (10 people). Local therapy in both groups began according to the generally accepted scheme: sanation of the oral cavity, treatment of periodontal diseases according to indications, selective grinding off of the sharp edges of the teeth. In the main group, patients received treatment in the form of an application with a cool furatsilina solution, and applying the dosage form in the form of lip balm., Consisting of red-hot lamb fat and filtered through gauze, lanolin, pumpkin oil, ylang ylang oil, geranium oil, and also vitamins oil A and E and medical paraffin, this dosage form was prepared in paraffin and sterilized, after complete cooling it was applied to the lips with a spatula, and the patients easily used it at home as a balm for K in the morning and evening. Patients of the control group received the traditional treatment of cheilitis, anestezin applications, lip treatment with an antiseptic solution and keratoplasty applications - vitamin A and E oil. The results of the treatment were evaluated according to the clinical examination of patients, as well as taking into account the subjective feelings of the patients. Results. Based on the schemes of complex treatment of exfoliative cheilitis in patients of the main group, a positive result was obtained after the 3rd visit. A decrease in pain syndrome, a decrease in lesion elements (flakes), epithelization of cracks, a decrease in pain syndrome, a decrease in complaints of dryness of the red border of the lips were revealed. Conclusions. The development of this algorithm for treating ecfoliative cheilitis, including a mutton fat lip balm, has reduced the treatment time for this pathology.

Aim. Improving the results of surgical treatment of complications of second and third degree perineal tears complicated by anal incontinence. Methods. The study included 248 patients aged 16 to 50 years. The patients were allocated to three groups: the first group - 40 women who underwent traditional surgery and conservative treatment; the second group - 128 women with second degree perineal tear; group III - 80 women who underwent sphincteroplasty (I option) and sphincteroplasty combined with levatorplasty (II option) in our modification (sphincter-saving surgery with precision sutures). The main group included 111 patients who additionally received conservative treatment [1 mL of 1% enoxaparin sodium intravenously and 1 ml of 30% vitamin E (alfa-tocopherol acetate) by intramuscular injection]; control group - 97 patients who underwent standard treatment. Long-term results were assessed by a survey, physical examination in the clinic, telephone and Internet surveys in 35 patients of the main group and 31 women of the control group. Results. In 91 (82%) patients of the main group, the pain intensity decreased after 7-10 days of treatment was antioxidants, 8 (7.2%) patients had pain in the perineum or anal canal, in 12 (10.8%) cases intense pain in the anal canal were still present. Long-term results were evaluated as good in 16 (51.6%) and 25 (69.4%) patients, as satisfactory - in 9 (29%) and 8 (22.2%) patients, as unsatisfactory - 6 (19.4 %), and 3 (8.3%) patients of the main and the control groups, respectively. The test group showed earlier formation of granulation tissue (3.1±0.3 days earlier compared to the control group). At sphincterometry on the 12th day, 6 patients of the control group had first degree anal incontinence, 3 - second degree anal incontinence compared with only 1 (1.8%) case in the study group (second degree sphincter incontinence). Conclusion. A proposed diagnostic strategy in women with anal incontinence due to perineal tears of II-III degrees after the labor trauma, allowed choosing the optimal method of surgical treatment and improving treatment outcomes.

Despite the progress in otosurgery, the efficient treatment of patients with the cochlear form of otosclerosis (according to the classification of N.A. Preobrazhensky, 1962) remains an important task. The authors have developed and implemented an advanced stapedoplasty method, providing the improvement of hearing in this category of patients. and described the methods of differential diagnostics for selection of patients according to the developed method. The article describes in details the early and long-term functional results of surgical treatment of 60 patients with cochlear and mixed II forms of otosclerosis, divided into the main and control groups. The main group is represented by 30 patients who underwent a cartilage-on-vein stapedoplasty according to the improved method. The control group included 30 patients, in which 18 people underwent a cartilage-on-vein stapedoplasty according to the method developed by Lenin Prize winner V. F. Nikitina, and 12 people who underwent V. T. Palchun’s piston stapedoplasty. The results demonstrate a statistically significant improvement of bone conduction in the main group in average by 15–20 dB throughout the entire tone scale (except for high frequencies in some patients) and the complete closure of the bone-air interval with subsequent preservation of the results. Based on the obtained data, the authors present the expediency and perspectivity of implementation of the advanced stapedoplasty method.
