Patients with bacterial vaginosis are often diagnosed as having chronic generalized inflammatory and inflammatory-dystrophic periodontal diseases including chronic catarrhal gingivitis, mild and moderate periodontitis. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the treatment of inflammatory and inflammatory-dystrophic periodontal diseases in women with bacterial vaginosis and their sexual partners. The study included 28 heterosexual couples aged 18-45. Clinical dental check-up was performed during the treatment and in 3 months after the treatment completion. Green-Vermilion indices, РMA (in Parma modification), complex periodontal index (CPI) according to Leus, Svrakov's iodine number were determined. Both groups of patients were examined for the presence of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae in the oral cavity by PCR testing. The therapeutic course was the same for all groups of patients. General therapy included "Fluconazole" in a dose of 50 mg once a day for 7 days, "Clindamycin" in a dose of 150 mg every 6 hours for 5 days, probiotic "Symbiter acidophilus concentrated" was prescribed to be taken starting from the 3rd day of antibiotic therapy for 21 days, and Calcium-D3-Nycomed (1 tab. during dinner for 30 days). Local treatment included oral baths of the drug "Stomatophyte" after morning and evening hygienic procedures for 7 days, "Metrogil-dent" ointment for gum application for 7 days, the chewing drug "Lizak" (1 tab. every 6 hours for 5 days), "Symbiter omega" in silicone caps for gum application overnight following the for 21 days. Chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis was detected in 10.71% of women, mild chronic generalized periodontitis – in 64.29% and moderate chronic generalized periodontitis – in 25% of the women. In men who were carriers of pathogens of bacterial vaginosis, chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis was found in 7.14% of individuals, mild chronic generalized periodontitis – in 60.71% and moderate chronic generalized periodontitis – in 32 male subjects. General and local dental treatment of women with bacterial vaginosis and their sexual partners showed a positive evidence-based dynamics of dental status. 3 months after clinical and laboratory observations, no complaints were presented and the oral hygiene status improved significantly. Before the treatment, the Green-Vermilion index mean values in women with bacterial vaginosis were 1.323 ± 0.035; by the end of 3 month therapy they equalled to 1.032 ± 0.021. A similar dynamics was seen in the men: from the initial index values of 1.336 ± 0.041, the Green-Vermilion index lowered to 1.048 ± 0.036. By the end of 3 month therapy, the PMA decreased by 49.03% in women and by 51.95% in men; no significant difference between the indicators of groups I and II was registered, while the difference between the results in the middle of groups I and II is significant. The analysis of the СPI index values demonstrated the women had a significant difference between baseline and post-treatment outcomes of 1.98 scores, while the men had 2.01 scores. No significant difference was found between the findings of groups I and II both before and after the therapy. A similar positive dynamics was confirmed by the Svrakov's iodine number indicator and according to this indicator obtained before and after the therapy, difference between groups was not detected. The significant difference between the indicators in the group of women and men was 2,789 and 2,831, respectively. The detection Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae in the oral cavity before and after the therapy did not demonstrate a significant difference between the group of men and women, but there was a clear difference between the parameters obtained at the initial examination and 3 months after the therapy. Gardnerella vaginalis was detected by 67.87% and 61.59% less, Atopobium vaginae – by 65.79% and 58.65% less in the women and men, respectively. This patented treatment regimen for patients with bacterial vaginosis contributes to the regression of inflammatory manifestations, improves oral hygiene, and is effective for the treatment of women with this comorbidity and for the therapy of their sexual partners. The dynamics of reducing the percentage of detection of bacterial vaginosis pathogens reflects the dynamics of the clinical picture of periodontal disease in both women with bacterial vaginosis and men who are their sexual partners that confirms the effectiveness of the therapy for both gender groups.

Patients with bacterial vaginosis are diagnosed with chronic generalized inflammatory and inflammatory-dystrophic periodontal diseases, such as chronic catarrhal gingivitis, periodontitis of initial and first severity. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of the treatment of inflammatory and inflammatory-dystrophic periodontal diseases in women with bacterial vaginosis and their sexual partners. Materials and methods. 28 heterosexual couples aged 18-45 years took part in the survey. Clinical dental examination was performed at the time of treatment and 3 months after completion of treatment. Green-Vermilion indices, RMA (in Parma modification), complex periodontal index according to Leus (KPI), Svrakov's number were determined. Both groups of patients were examined for the presence of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae in the oral cavity by PCR testing. The therapeutic course was the same for all groups of patients. General therapy included: "Fluconazole" 50 mg 1 time per day (7 days), "Clindamycin" 150 mg every 6 hours (5 days), starting from the 3rd day of antibiotics - probiotic "Symbiter acidophilus concentrated "(21 days), Calcium-D3-Nycomed 1 tab. during dinner 30 days. Local treatment included: oral baths of the drug "Stomatophyte" after morning and evening hygienic procedures (7 days), application of "Metrogil-dent" on the gums (7 days), the drug "Lizak" 1 tab. keep in the mouth until complete dissolution every 6 hours (5 days), after the use of "Stomatophyte" and "Metrogil - dent" - application of "Symbiter omega" on the gums in silicone caps at night (21 days). Results. In women, chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis was detected in 10.71%, chronic generalized periodontitis of the initial degree in 64.29% and chronic generalized periodontitis of the I degree in 25%. In men who are carriers of pathogens of BV, chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis was found in 7.14%, chronic generalized periodontitis of the initial degree in 60.71% and chronic generalized periodontitis in grade 32.1. General and local dental treatment of women with bacterial vaginosis and their sexual partners showed a positive objective dynamics of dental status. Thus, after 3 months of clinical and laboratory observations, there were no complaints, the state of oral hygiene improved significantly. If before the treatment the Green-Vermilion index in general in women with BV was 1.323 ± 0.035 points, then after 3 months it was equal to 1.032 ± 0.021. A similar dynamics was determined in men: from the starting index of 1.336 ± 0.041, the Green-Vermilion index decreased to 1.048 ± 0.036. 3 months after treatment, the PMA of patients decreased by 49.03%, in men - by 51.95%, no significant difference between the indicators of groups I and II was registered, while the difference between the results in the middle of groups I and II is significant . According to the KPI index, women had a significant difference between baseline and post-treatment outcomes of 1.98 points, while men had a score of 2.01 points. No significant difference was found between the results of groups I and II both before and after treatment. A similar positive dynamics characterizes the indicator - Srakov's number, according to this indicator before treatment and after differences between groups was not detected. The significant difference between the indicators in the group of women and men was 2,789 and 2,831, respectively. Before treatment and after the detection rate in the oral cavity, Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae did not have a significant difference between the group of men and women, but there was a clear difference between the parameters obtained at the initial examination and 3 months after treatment in the middle and second groups. Thus, Gardnerella vaginalis was detected less by 67.87% and 61.59%, Atopobium vaginae - by 65.79% and 58.65% in women and men, respectively. Conclusions. The developed and patented treatment regimen for patients with bacterial vaginosis contributes to the regression of inflammatory phenomena, improves oral hygiene, and is suitable for the treatment of women with this comorbidity and for the treatment of their sexual partners. The dynamics of reducing the percentage of detection of bacterial vaginosis pathogens corresponded to the dynamics of the clinical picture of periodontal disease in both women with bacterial vaginosis and men who were their sexual partners, which once again confirms the equal effectiveness of treatment for both gender groups.

Numerous studies have proved that periodontal pathology is an issue that requires a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach in diagnosis, treatment and prevention, as most periodontal diseases are syndromic manifestations of somatic and psycho-somatic diseases, but there are little data on the periodontal status in patients with disturbance of the genital microflora. The aim of the study was to provide the grounds for the tactics of dental examination of child-bearing women with bacterial vaginosis and their sexual partners and to compare the results of different sex groups. Materials and methods. 28 heterosexual couples aged 18-45 years were examined. Objective periodontal examination included the calculation of Green-Vermilion oral hygiene index, papillary-marginal-alveolar index, complex periodontal index by P.A. Leus, Svrakov's iodine number. Amino test of oral fluid, assessment of oral fluid pH, identification of bacterial vaginosis pathogens, and in particular, Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae, in the oral cavity of the patients by polymerase chain reaction-diagnostics and bacterioscopically. Results. Chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis was detected in 10.71% of the women, chronic generalized periodontitis in the initial stage was found out in 64.29% of the women, and chronic generalized periodontitis of the first degree in 25% of the female patients. Men, who were carriers of bacterial vaginosis, chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis, made up 7.14%; chronic generalized periodontitis in the initial stage was found in 60.71% of the men and chronic generalized periodontitis was found in 32.14%. The values ​​of periodontal indices did not really differ between the indicators of different sex groups. Amino tests of the oral fluid in the women and men showed a positive result those points out the presence of volatile amines. The oral fluid pH is reduced in patients of both groups that indicate an inflammatory process in the oral cavity. All the patients have "key cells", which are exfoliated epitheliocytes with Atopobium vaginae and Gardnerella vaginalis adhered to them. This is one of the main markers of bacterial vaginosis. Conclusions. Summing up the results of the performed clinical and laboratory observations, it should be noted that when collecting the history of bearing aged women, the dentist should pay attention to the presence of diseases of the genital tract, and in particular, bacterial vaginosis. To detect inflammatory and inflammatory-dystrophic periodontal diseases in women of childbearing age, amino tests of oral fluid not only in women but also in their sexual partners for rapid diagnosis of pathogens such as bacterial vaginosis and vaginal vaginal vagina can be very informative.

Introduction. There is currently no tactic for dental examination and treatment of women suffering from bacterial vaginosis (BV), although chronic catarrhal gingivitis, periodontitis of initial and first degree of severity in patients with this pathology has been proven. The frequency of detection of BV in modern women aged 18-45 is 67-89%. The main pathogens of BV are Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae. Aim. To determine clinical and laboratory effectiveness of the treatment scheme for women with periodontal diseases on the background of bacterial vaginosis. Materials and methods. Diagnosis of BV was established by an obstetrician-gynaecologist based on the Amsel criteria. 54 women aged 18-45 were examined. The examined women were divided into two groups, depending on the intended scheme of integrated treatment. Determination of the degree of inflammation of the periodontal period was carried out according to the PMA indices (modified by S. Parma), KPI by Leus. The quality control of the treatment was performed by PCR method, the presence of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vagina, the amino test of oral liquid, the quantitative activity of alpha amylase and the concentration of sIgA in saliva. Representatives of the first control group (26 women) were prescribed the common course of treatment, namely: local treatment therapy (oral baths of the solution of the medicine “Stomatophyte” after morning and evening hygiene procedures, application of “Mergagil-denta” (7 days); general therapy (metronidazole 250 mg every 8 hours for every 7 days, probiotic “Symbiter acidophilic concentrate” for 21 days). Women of the second experimental group (28 patients) were treated according to the scheme we patented. Their local treatment included: oral baths with the medicine “Stomatophyte” after morning and evening hygiene procedures (7 days), tablets for resuscitation “Lizak” for 1 tab. every 6 hours (5 days), application of “Metrogil-denta” for 20 minutes twice a day. After using “Stomatophyte” (10 days), use “Symbiter omega” for 21 days in silicone caps for the night after the completion of the use of “Metrogil-Denta”. General medicines for patients in the 2nd group: clindamycin 150 mg every 6 hours (7 days), probiotic “Symbiter acidophilic concentrate” per unit (21 days). Evaluation of the treatment results was carried out 14 days, 3, 6 and 12 months after the end of the course treatment. Results. In the examined two groups, there was a disorder in the condition of periodontal tissues. In women of the first group chronic catarrhal gingivitis was registered in 11.5%, chronic generalized periodontitis of initial degree - in 57.69%, chronic generalized periodontitis - in 30.77%; in patients of the 2nd group – in 10.71%, 64.29% and 25% respectively. None of the 54 patients had clinically intact periodontal disease. The PMA and Leish KPI indices in women of the 1st group after the treatment did not have a significant difference with the initial results, while the rates of patients in the second group decreased significantly, indicating a decrease in inflammation in the periodontal tissues. The concentration of sIgA after the end of the treatment course was higher in women of the 2nd group, which suggests a higher efficacy of the proposed method of treatment. Conclusions. Comparing the conventional and patented treatment regimen, it has been determined that traditional treatment is significantly less effective. Clinical methods of examination are insufficient to control the quality of treatment of women with BV and manifestations of periodontal disease, since a specific microflora appears in the oral cavity of this contingent of patients. In order to objectify clinical results, it is advisable to use a study of local immunity factors, such as saliva alpha-amylase and sIgA. To control the presence of IB pathogens as an express method, an amino test should be used, and in the case of its positive result, PCR should be used to detect Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae.

At present, the issue of cross-contamination and cross-infection between the oral cavity and other body sites has not sufficiently studied yet and requires the elaboration of clinical protocols for diagnosis infectious diseases, which the dentists can rely on in their practice. We consider it necessary to highlight the issue of cross-infection between the oral cavity and vagina in women with bacterial vaginosis. This gynaecologic diagnosis draws much attention of healthcare professionals due to its prevalence, the frequency of relapses and the specificity of the microflora causing pathology. The purpose of the work was to characterize the diagnostic value of the amino test of oral fluid as an express method for detecting bacterial vaginosis in the oral cavity. Materials and methods. 106 women of child-bearing age without marked somatic and orthodontic pathologies were examined. Patients were divided into 3 groups depending on their gynaecological status. I group included 25 women with the 1st and 2nd degree of vaginal purity; II group involved 27 individuals – carriers of Gardnerella vaginalis; the third group included 54 women with a confirmed diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis, who were divided into 2 subgroups depending on the prescribed treatment. 26 women who received standard treatment and supportive therapy made up III-A subgroup; 28 patients who received the treatment and preventive therapy aimed at eliminating atypical microflora in the oral cavity and preventing relapse, constituted III-B subgroup. The examination was carried out before starting therapy and in 6 and 12 months following the therapy. The amino-test of oral fluid that we patented is designed for express diagnosis of mixed saliva for the presence of volatile amine of isonitrile produced by bacteria Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae associated with bacterial vaginosis. To confirm the results of the amino test of the oral fluid, a PCR-diagnosis for the presence of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae in the oral cavity was performed. Results. In women with bacterial vaginosis (group III), chronic catarrhal gingivitis was diagnosed in 12.96%, chronic generalized periodontitis of initial severity was found in 25.93% of the patients studied, chronic generalized periodontitis I severity degree was diagnosed in 61.11% of the patients; clinically intact periodontitis was not registered. Comparing the results of the amino test of oral fluid at all stages of the observation with the results of PCR-diagnosis of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae, we have found out that the patients of groups I demonstrated complete conformity to the results obtained in the group II: the absence of these microorganisms in the oral cavity was confirmed by negative results of amino test. In the group III-A examined, the percentage of the positive amine test was directly proportional to the changes in the detection of Atopobium vaginae in the oral cavity: before the treatment, this microorganism was detected in 84.6% of the amino test, at the beginning of the survey it was 76.9%; in 6 months following the therapy, the PCR decreased by 26.9%, while the result of the amino test dropped by 34.6%; in a year the detection of Atopobium vaginae increased by 42.3% and the percentage of positive test increased by 34.6%. In groups III-B, direct correlation of the changes in the results of the Gardnerella vaginalis PCR and the amino-test of oral fluid were noted. The primary findings of Gardnerella vaginalis and the positive amine test of women in this group made up 67.9% and 75% respectively. In 6 months, the percentage of Gardnerella vaginalis detection was reduced by 39.3% and by 53.6%, the positive oral test in the oral cavity decreased; in one year, Gardnerella vaginalis was found to be 14.3% less frequent in the patients of group III-B, and the registration of the positive amino test decreased by 7.1%. The obtained data make it possible to suggest the informativeness of the amino test of oral fluid as an express method for detecting bacterial vaginosis agents in the oral cavity, such as Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae, to use this method in the diagnosis of concomitant diseases of periodontal tissues and to prescribe treatment, taking into account the presence of oral microbes from atypical representatives who are resistant to traditional treatment regimens.

Smoking can cause periodontal disease as well as lesions in the oral mucosa. Nicotine stomatitis is inflammation caused by heat stimuli injury on the hard and soft palate of the oral cavity; smokers commonly suffer from this condition. Knowledge of how oral hygiene affects the health of dental and oral cavity. The purpose of this study was to describe the differences in community periodontal index (CPI) and nicotine stomatitis in smokers after oral hygiene instruction. The study subjects were 54 men who have a history of active smoking for more than five years. The experiment was carried out in the Biomedical Laboratory of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Islam Bandung in September 2018–January 2019. Dental examination initiated before and after dental health instructions. CPI and nicotine stomatitis tests performed on all subjects by dentists using dental instruments. After six weeks of information about oral hygiene, all subjects re-examined. The results show that there is a statistically significant difference in the average CPI value in smokers before and after dental instruction with a p value<0.001 (p≤0.05). In contrast, the condition of nicotine stomatitis remains the same. CPI value influenced by oral and dental hygiene showed that dental health instruction is very effective. However, stomatitis has not healed as long as the cause is not eliminated. EVALUASI KOMPARATIF COMMUNITY PERIODONTAL INDEX (CPI) DAN STOMATITIS NIKOTIN DI KALANGAN PEROKOK SETELAH INSTRUKSI KEBERSIHAN MULUTMerokok dapat menyebabkan penyakit pada periodontal maupun lesi pada mukosa mulut. Stomatitis nikotin merupakan inflamasi yang disebabkan oleh panas yang terdapat pada palatum keras dan lunak; perokok umumnya menderita kondisi ini. Pengetahuan mengenai tata cara kebersihan mulut memengaruhi kesehatan gigi dan rongga mulut. Tujuan penelitian ini menilai perbedaan community periodontal index (CPI) dan stomatitis nikotin pada perokok setelah instruksi kebersihan mulut. Subjek penelitian adalah 54 pria yang memiliki riwayat merokok aktif selama lebih dari lima tahun. Penelitian dilakukan di Laboratorium Biomedik, Fakultas Kedokteran, Universitas Islam Bandung pada bulan September 2018–Januari 2019. Pemeriksaan dental dilakukan sebelum dan setelah instruksi kesehatan gigi. Pemeriksaan CPI dan stomatitis nikotin dilakukan kepada seluruh subjek oleh dokter gigi menggunakan instrumen gigi. Setelah enam minggu mendapatkan penyuluhan mengenai kebersihan mulut, seluruh subjek diperiksa kembali. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna secara statistik nilai CPI rerata pada perokok sebelum dengan setelah dilakukan instruksi kesehatan gigi dengan p<0,001 (p≤0,05). Sebaliknya, kondisi stomatitis nikotin tetap sama. Nilai CPI dipengaruhi oleh kebersihan gigi dan mulut sehingga instruksi kesehatan gigi sangat efektif. Akan tetapi, stomatitis tidak dapat sembuh selama penyebabnya tidak dihentikan.

BACKGROUND: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is one of the most common diseases affecting women of reproductive age. The main problem of BV is the low efficiency of traditional methods of treatment with a frequent recurrence of up to 50%. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 59 patients were examined and treated with the diagnosis of BV, which was confirmed in accordance with the Amsel criteria. The main group included women with BV and their male partners, whereas the compared group included only women with BV. All women were treated with systemic metronidazole and topical clindamycin, and suppositories with lactic acid were prescribed at the second stage. The men partners were treated systemically with metronidazole and topically with clindamycin. RESULTS: Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, and Prevotella were the most commonly identified bacteria in the vaginal discharge. In men, BV-associated bacteria were found in the foreskin of the glans penis and distal urethra. The similarity of the microflora of the genital organs of women and their male partners was determined. In women with sexual partners who were treated 6 months after the therapy, the number of BV-associated bacteria was detected two or more times less frequently than in patients in the comparison group. For the men, the number of complaints and clinical symptoms significantly decreased after the treatment. Significant decreases in Gardnerella vaginalis, Atopobium vaginae, Prevotella spp., Leptotrichia amnionii, and Mobiluncus were achieved in the foreskin and Gardnerella in the urethra. In the main group of women, the frequency of BV recurrences recorded was 2.3 times less than that in the comparison group. CONCLUSION: The treatment of partners of women with BV effectively reduces the growth of BV-associated bacteria and significantly decreases the frequency of recurrences.

The lack of clear dental screening strategy for women with bacterial vaginosis (BV) leads to inadequate treatment planning, since atypical triggering factors are not considered, despite the given evidence for the presence of chronic generalized inflammatory and inflammatory-dystrophic periodontal diseases in patients with BV. The analysis of the oral fluid, especially its protective properties, is crucial in the noninvasive diagnostics. In this regard, alpha-amylase and secretory IgA (sIgA) are noteworthy. The aim of the research. The paper was aimed at verification of the diagnostic value of the assessment of the outcomes of the recent treatment of inflammatory and inflammatory-dystrophic periodontal diseases in women of reproductive age with bacterial vaginosis by determining the changes in the kinetic activity of alpha- amylase and sIgA concentration. Material and Methods. 50 women of reproductive age have been examined. The subjects were assigned into groups according to their gynecological status: Group I (control) (n=10) included women with the I and II degree of purity of the vagina Group II (n=10) included carriers of Gardnerella vaginalis without diagnosed bacterial vaginosis ; Group ІІІ-A (n=15) included women with verified diagnosis of BV who received conventional treatment; Group IІІ-B (n=15) included women with BV, who received treatment using our patented treatment regimen that takes into account the presence of specific BV-microflora found in the oral cavity in this group of subjects. In the oral cavity the results of the amino-test of the oral fluid were analyzed and kinetic activity of alpha-amylase and sIgA concentration was determined. The presence of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae in the oral cavity was determined by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Results. The sIgA level of women with BV was by 30-45% lower as compared to the value of patients without BV. Concentration of oral sIgA in both groups of women was restored after treatment, but the results of the III-A and III-B groups after treatment significantly differed (the result of sIgA in subjects of Group III-B was by 1.33 times higher than the value of Group III-A), indicating the higher efficacy of the proposed treatment regimen, which takes into account the presence of etiological agents of BV in the oral cavity. The results of the amino test of oral fluid were positive in patients of Group III-A before treatment in 73.3%, after treatment only in 53.3%, while in the subjects of Group III-B the initial result was 80%; after treatment, a decrease to 20% was registered. Conclusions. The diagnostic value of the applied laboratory methods for examination of local resistance in women is sufficient for mass use as a control of the results in periodontal treatment of patients with inflammatory and inflammatory-dystrophic periodontal diseases concomitant with bacterial vaginosis.

Relevance. A long-term inflammation in the oral cavity, unreasonable treatment of periodontal patients with antibiotics cause imbalance between certain types of fungal-bacterial associations accompanied by oral dysbiosis and change of local immune status. So, development and application of new comprehensive diagnosis and treatment techniques in periodontal patients, use of products for correction of microbiota and local immunity are a current and a long-term task. Purpose is to optimize the comprehensive treatment protocol of inflammatory periodontal diseases by introducing probiotics and evaluation of oral microbiome and cytokine profile.Materials and methods. 140 patients were examined. Of these 60 patients had chronic generalized plaque-induced gingivitis and 60 patients suffered from moderate chronic generalized periodontitis. Bacterial and fungal microbiome was assessed and the host immune response was evaluated in all patients before and after the treatment. Half of the patients were treated conventionally and the other half were treated according to a modified scheme: probiotic “Bifidumbacterin Forte” was added.Results. A large number of yeast-like fungi Candida and commensal bacteria were detected in periodontal pockets of patients with chronic generalized plaque-induced gingivitis and moderate chronic generalized periodontitis. That correlates with a significant increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL—8), decrease of concentration of INF-γ and increase of antiinflammatory cytokine IL-4.Conclusion. Changes in clinical, microbiological and immunological values during a modified combination therapy with a probiotic and during a conventional treatment demonstrated that effectiveness of treatment of chronic gingivitis and chronic periodontitis increased by 40% and 37% respectively.

Relevance. Periodontal diseases are a medical and social problem due to the wide spread among the population of developed countries and the impact on the quality of life. Among the many factors that are important in the development of inflammatory periodontal diseases, an important role is played by adherence to the recommendations of the dentist in respecting oral hygiene. Aim of the work was to study the adherence of patients of the dental clinic to compliance with preventive measures in the oral cavity.Materials and methods. A total of 98 patients of dental clinic, 62 female (medial age 38,6 ± 14,0 years) and 36 male (medial age 37,2±13,1 years) participated in survey. The study participants flled in the profle and answered questions about age, gender, harmful working conditions and bad habits, frequency of visits to the dental clinic, attitudes to the prevention of dental diseases, knowledge about the means and methods of oral hygiene.Results. As a result of the study, it was found that in the vast majority of cases, respondents are employed in production that does not adversely affect their health (91%), only 8% of patients indicated harmful working conditions.Conclusions. The study revealed that, despite the recommendations of the dentist, patients are not always committed to the implementation of preventive measures in the oral cavity. Dentists need to motivate patients to use not only the usual methods and means of hygiene, but also additional ones necessary for maintaining dental health.

A study of oral hygiene condition in primary school children based on Fedorov-Volodkina index has revealed that children do not clean their teeth properly enough and the average indicator of the studied group is unsatisfactory. The study based on children’s age indicates that the best oral hygiene condition is found in children aged 9 (satisfactory), whereas the worst – in children aged 8 (unsatisfactory). This, in our opinion, is due to the period of frontal teeth eruption and the discomfort associated with such process. Children clean the frontal area not properly. As children grow older, their personal hygiene skills improve as evidenced by the findings of comparing 6- and 9-year-olds’ indices (р<0.05). It was determined that each child’s index by Green-Vermillion and obtained results allows assessing the condition of oral cavity and cleaning skills. It has been identified significant differences in the oral hygiene condition in children who suffer from caries and in children with healthy teeth. Thus, before teeth brushing 6-year-old children without caries had unsatisfactory oral hygiene condition, children with caries –poor oral hygiene condition, 7-year old children – unsatisfactory one, 8-year-old children – unsatisfactory and poor, 9-year-old children – satisfactory and unsatisfactory respectively. The poorest oral hygiene condition was observed with 6-year-olds with caries. It has been assessed that dental tartar based on the studied indices. The study has revealed insufficient oral hygiene of the frontal and lateral jaw areas in children of primary school. This phenomenon creates cariogenic situation in the oral cavity. Having studied oral hygiene condition in children, it was offered by us to brush teeth with the toothbrush and toothpaste which they use at home. They brushed their teeth under the supervision, but without dentist’s management. Observed results were described in this paper. After brushing, oral hygiene condition has been studied again. When assessing Fedorov-Volodkina index, it was not observed any improvement of the index after teeth brushing in children without caries. In 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children oral hygiene was unsatisfactory, whereas in 9-year-old children it was satisfactory. Oral hygiene improvement was observed in children who have caries. In 6-year-old children – from poor to unsatisfactory, in 7-, 8-, and 9-year-old children it remained at the same unsatisfactory level, but hygiene index indicators probably decreased (р<0.05). The findings indicate that children with caries do not pay attention to oral hygiene, whereas teeth brushing improve the studied index. Green-Vermillion index enables to determine oral hygiene condition in frontal and lateral jaw areas. After individual teeth brushing this hygiene index values slightly improve compared to original values, however, no significant difference in hygiene level was identified. Findings from studying various hygiene indices indicate that children with caries pay attention to brushing frontal jaw area and absolutely no attention to brushing lateral jaw areas with first permanent molars that have recently erupted, and they are not enough mineralized, and are prone to caries at this age. This encourages a study of teeth brushing skills of children of primary school using the suggested form of child oral hygiene skills followed by development of oral hygiene recommendations for the children of this age group with parental involvement.
