The experience of using a diode laser in the herpes labial treatment

Relevance. The relevance of the problem is in the high prevalence of the herpes simplex virus. According to WHO, nearly 90% of the population are carriers. Relapses can occur several times a year, which leads to disability and impairs the quality of life. Currently, there are a large number of drugs for general and local treatment. However, they are toxic and can cause allergic reactions. In recent years, a large number of studies have been devoted to the use of lasers in the treatment of dental diseases. Therefore, the question of the use of a laser in the treatment of herpetic lesions of the oral cavity remains relevant.Purpose. The research purpose was to determine the effectiveness of the use of a diode laser in the treatment of herpetic lesions of the lips.Materials and methods. We conducted a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of the use of a diode laser in monotherapy of herpetic lip lesions in 18 patients. The comparison group consisted of 18 patients, in the local treatment of which antiviral ointments were used.Results. The results of the study showed that the use of a diode laser can reduce treatment time, accelerate the epithelization of foci.Conclusion. The results of our study allow us to recommend the use of a diode laser in the complex treatment of herpetic lesions of the oral cavity.

Subject. Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin and mucous membranes, less commonly affecting nails and hair, the typical elements of which are papules. In the structure of diseases localized on the oral mucosa, chronic lichen planus is up to 35―40 %. A number of authors indicate the nature of the development of lichen planus in the oral cavity caused by herpes, in particular type 4 herpes virus (Epstein―Barr). The goal is to increase the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment of patients with lichen planus associated with the Epstein―Barr virus. Methodology. This article illustrates the experience of managing a patient with exudative-hyperemic form of lichen planus associated with Epstein―Barr virus and the inclusion of antiviral drugs in the treatment regimen. The paper used clinical and laboratory methods for diagnosing the conditions under study. Results. In the course of the observation, a positive clinical and laboratory dynamics of the conditions under study was revealed when applying the modernized treatment plan for lichen planus. The appointment of systemic and local antiviral therapy can reduce the treatment time for lichen planus on the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and not resort to the appointment of local hormone therapy. Conclusions. In order to increase the effectiveness of the therapy for lichen planus, it is necessary to conduct a study to identify specific DNA not only for Epstein―Barr virus, but also for all herpes viruses due to immunotropy and persistence mainly in the cells of the oral mucosa. The use of a systemic antiviral component reduces the treatment time for dental manifestations of lichen planus and eliminates the need for corticosteroid therapy, which improves the quality of life of patients.

Microclimatic Conditions

Among the production of harmful industry all over the world, including in our repub-lic, tobacco production occupies a significant place. In Uzbekistan, tobacco cultivation is car-ried out by workers of the Urgut district of the Samarkand region, which accounts for a large share in agriculture and brings significant economic profit. The available literature does not cover the issue of the effect of tobacco dust and pes-ticides in combination with uncomfortable microclimatic conditions on the organs and tissues of the oral cavity of tobacco growers. Some aspects of the mechanism of development of pathological changes in the oral cavity of tobacco growers are not specified in the conditions of Uzbekistan, and accordingly there is no data on adequate methods of their prevention and treatment [1,3]. In this regard, there is a need to study the features of the clinic and the course of the main dental diseases in tobacco growers in order to develop a set of organizational, sanitary, hygienic and therapeutic and preventive measures aimed at improving the quality of the production environment, pre-venting the development and reducing the frequency of dental morbidity among tobacco growers.

Summary. High prevalence, unfavorable effects of periodontal infection centers on the oral cavity condition determine the relevance of the problem of the use of phytopreparations in the treatment of generalized periodontitis.The aim of the study – to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the drug Resverazin in the complex treatment of generalized periodontitis.Materials and Methods. The study was attended by 43 patients, patients with chronic generalized periodontitis of primary and stage I. The main group was 25 people, the comparison group was 18. To assess the hygienic state of the cavity, the indices Green-Wermillion, ONI-S, Silness-Loe, Stallard were used. The assessment of the periodontal condition was conducted according to clinical signs; the severity of gingivitis was determined by the PMA index, the state is clear – according to the index of bleeding Muhlleman, the stages of destructive changes in the periodontium – according to the periodontal index (PI). For the treatment of periodontitis in both groups, traditional therapy was used. The patients in the main group were prescribed Resverazin for 1 capsule 2 times a day after eating. The course of treatment was 2 months.Results and Discussion. In an objective survey conducted before treatment, the average value of the index of hygiene in the main group was (1.64±0.31), in the comparison group – (1.59±0.23) points. The PMA index in the main group was (63.12±1.17), in the comparison group – (62.39±1.13) points. The ONI-S, Silness-Loe and Stallard indexes in the patients in the main group were (2.36±0.13), (1.54±0.08), (1.200±0.062) points, in the comparison group – (2.30±0.12), (1.51±0.06) and (0.890±0.032) points, respectively. The values of PI and the Muhlleman index in the groups were (1.22±0.09) and (2.21±0.13) and (1.24±0.13) and (2.18±0.11) points, respectively. During the treatment, a positive dynamics of the studied parameters was observed. The values of the PMA index (%) and PI were (10.23±1.11) and (0.63±0.11) in the main group and (11.22±1.19) and (0.84±0.12) in the comparison group.Conclusions. The obtained results confirm the high clinical efficiency of the natural complex Resverazin, the inclusion of which in the scheme of basic therapy of generalized periodontitis contributes to positive dynamics and stable changes in the tissues of periodontal disease.

Unpleasant Odor

Halitosis is a very frequent condition characterized by an unpleasant odor related to expired air, and 80-90% of the cases originate in the oral cavity. It is a social problem that affects one-third of the population, causing a negative impact on the quality of life. The measurement of volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) at the oral level is very useful for intercepting the problem. Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is based on the combination of a non-toxic dye and an appropriate wavelength of visible light, which in the presence of oxygen is activated and can promote a phototoxic response. We would like to document a case of oral halitosis diagnosed and treated with photodynamic therapy using a 660 nm diode laser and phenothiazine chloride as a photosensitizer.

Abstract. Some people, although they are perfectly healthy and happy, cannot enjoy music. These individuals have musical anhedonia, a condition which can be congenital or may occur after focal brain damage. To date, only a few cases of acquired musical anhedonia have been reported in the literature with lesions of the temporo-parietal cortex being particularly important. Even less literature exists on congenital musical anhedonia, in which impaired connectivity of temporal brain regions with the Nucleus accumbens is implicated. Nonetheless, there is no precise information on the prevalence, causes or exact localization of both congenital and acquired musical anhedonia. However, the frequent involvement of temporo-parietal brain regions in neurological disorders such as stroke suggest the possibility of a high prevalence of this disorder, which leads to a considerable reduction in the quality of life.

Цель. Изучение клеток иммунной системы полости рта у пациентов до проведения операции лифтинга лица, а также сопоставление этих данных с показателями, выявленными при осложнениях в послеоперационном периоде. Методика. Исследованы клетки иммунной системы полости рта 100 женщин (23-68 лет), которым перед операцией лифтинга лица проведено стоматологическое обследование и необходимое лечение при наличии кариеса дентина, клиновидного дефекта эмали зуба, хронического периодонтита или пульпита. Выделенные путем смывов десенной борозды клетки окрашивали моноклональными антителами и анализировали на проточном цитометре. Определяли уровень спонтанного и индуцированного апоптоза. Оценивали уровень фагоцитоза и генерацию супероксидного аниона нейтрофилами. Результаты. Показано, что хронические воспалительные заболевания зубов оказывают негативное влияние на состояние иммунных клеток ротовой полости, сопровождаются повышением генерации супероксидного аниона нейтрофилами, повышением уровня спонтанного и церамид-индуцированного апоптоза клеток десенной борозды. Заключение. Наличие хронической патологии зубов, даже после санации, оказывает негативное влияние на течение послеоперационного периода при проведении операции лифтинга лица, в частности, способствует увеличению времени заживления операционной раны, инфицированию раны с появлением очагов некроза в области операционного шва. The object. The study of the cells of the immune system of the oral cavity in patients before the operation of face lifting, as well as a comparison of these indicators with complications in the postoperative period. Methods. The immune cells from the oral cavity were studied in 100 women (23-68 years), who underwent a dental examination and necessary treatment if they had the dentin caries, wedge-shaped defect of tooth enamel, chronic periodontitis or pulpitis before the facial lifting operation. The immune cells have been isolated by a lavage of gingival sulcus around the damaged tooth. Results. It has been shown that chronic dental diseases made a negative contribution to the oral cavity immune cells. It has been accompanied by the elevated levels of superoxide originating from neutrophils as well as the increased levels of spontaneous and ceramide-induced apoptosis of immune cells isolated from the gingival sulcus. Conclusion. The presence of chronic pathology of teeth even in the case of the preoperative dental sanation has a negative impact on the postoperative period after face lifting, in particular, contributes to the lengthening of the surgical wound healing time, wound infection as well as the partial necrosis of suture.

«Man is what he eats,» these words belong to the great Pythagoras. He meant by these words the connection of the origin of consumed food with the spiritual development of man. In fact, a lot depends on the nature of nutrition, the quality of food and, of course, on the degree of its perception by the body. Digestion process begins not in the stomach, but directly in the oral cavity as a result of mechanical processing of products with teeth and under the influence of the secretion of the salivary glands. That is why healthy teeth are the key to the normal functioning of the whole organism — people should start taking care of their teeth from the early childhood and dentists, who are far from being beloved by everybody and are often carelessly evaded, are called upon to help keep the teeth healthy.
