Periodontal disease in the adult population is one of the most pressing problems of dentistry around the world. Thanks to the introduction of modern technologies in practice, it was possible to identify the main mechanisms of the development of this disease at the molecular and genetic level. The interaction of periodontal pathogens with immune factors of antimicrobial protection of the body is the basis of periodontal tissue inflammation and further leads to the destruction of the alveolar bone. Epithelial cells of the gum mucosa play a crucial role against periodontal pathogenic bacteria. Factors of innate immunity play a role not only in antimicrobial protection, but they also support the conditions necessary for the healing and regeneration of periodontal tissues. Therefore, various therapeutic approaches that affect the factors of innate immunity are considered as effective and promising. Clinical examination and determination of factors of innate immunity were performed in 115 patients. Healthy individuals made up a group of 30 people. Patients with chronic generalized periodontitis with varying degrees of severity were 85 people. Each patient underwent orthopantomography on the orthopantomograph Orthophosis XG DS/Ceph (SIRONA Dental System GmbH, Germany) in order to assess the state of the bone tissue of the jaws (the degree of destruction of the cortical layer, the degree of resorption of the interalveolar partitions). Targeted intraoral radiographs were used to assess the state of bone tissue and the quality of surgical treatment. Immunological methods of research were carried out in several stages. The findings of this article make the claim that the use of autologous complex immunopeptides in the surgical treatment of periodontitis reduces the time of achieving a therapeutic effect 2 times, resulting in the rapid relief of the symptoms of inflammation and acceleration of reparative processes.

Aim: to study the state of local immunity and oral hygiene in patients with GP suffering from AN.Materials and methods: 35 patients with AN were examined at the age of 19-35 years. In the study we used immunological methods, an index assessment of the state of oral hygiene (PMA, API, GI).Results and discussion: in patients of I group poor oral hygiene was established. The amount of lysozyme in the oral fluid in I group was 0.014 ± 0.07 g/l. A decrease SIgA (11SIgA) was established in patients of I group: I, II and control (135.31 ± 23.17, 130.26 ± 24.21 and 300.34 ± 27.38 mg/l, respectively). A tendency to an increase in the level of IgG in the oral fluid in patients of group II compared with I and the control group (5.35 ± 0.36, vs. 4.57 ± 0.04 and 4.98 ± 0.23 g/l, respectively) was established.Conclusions: poor oral hygiene is an objective indicator which reflects low motivation to maintain oral health. The observed immunodeficiency (11SIgA) in patients with GP is a mirror image of changes occurring in the body of patients with AN.

The article presents the results of clinical examination of periodontal tissues in adolescents against the background of alimentary-constitutional obesity.The aim of the study – to investigate the features of the course of diseases of the periodontal tissue according to clinical indices in persons with alimentary-constitutional obesity.Materials and Methods. As a result of the survey, 95 adolescents aged 16–18 years old were included to study the features of the course of infl ammatory diseases of periodontal tissues in adolescents with alimentary-constitutional obesity 76 adolescents and 19 adolescents with harmonious physical development. To clarify the diagnosis, «excessive body weight» was determined by weight and height of the patient, and measured the circumference of the waist and hips. In the future, the body mass index (BMI) was calculated as the ratio of body weight in kg to square of growth in m2. Diagnosis of excess body weight was confi rmed with BMI less than 30kg/m2. The evaluation of the condition of periodontal tissues was carried out according to subjective and objective criteria (clinical parameters, index score). For the verifi cation of the pathological process in the periodontium, the classifi cation of M. F. Danilevskyi (1994) was used. The state of periodontal tissues was described using a traditional index score. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using commonly used methods of variation statistics with a help of personal computer using a statistical software package «Statistica 8.0» («Statsoft», USA). The probability level was estimated at 95 % (p<0.05) using Student’s t criterion.Conclusions. Consequently, the clinical indicators of the state of periodontal tissues in the context of alimentaryconstitutional obesity (Fedorov-Volodkin’s index, Green-Vermillion index, Sillness-Loe index, CPITN index) signifi cantly deteriorate compared with the corresponding indicators in the control group of adolescents without AKO, indicating the effect of alimentary-constitutional obesity on the clinical course, the severity and severity of theinfl ammatory process and the feasibility of timely and effective pharmacotherapy.

The article presents a retrospective review of professional domestic and foreign literature on modern aspects of treatment of inflammatory periodontal diseases, including vector therapy, plasmalifting, which can be used in various forms of this pathology. Periodontal diseases are one of the most pressing problems of dentistry, which has not only general but also great social significance, due to the high prevalence, intensity of the process, the subsequent formation of chronic odontogenic foci of infection, tooth loss at a young age and adverse effects on the body. Treatment of periodontal disease is a complex and lengthy process that includes general methods of influencing the pathophysiological processes occurring in the body, both local - therapeutic, orthopedic and surgical measures. Before planning treatment, the dentist should determine the patient's medical and dental history, conduct clinical and radiological examinations, determine the degree of loss of the alveolar ridge, functional disorders of the dental system and the possibility of their correction. Depending on this, determine the plan of treatment and rehabilitation measures, the sequence of medical interventions. The main task of periodontal treatment is to optimize the conditions for maintaining a healthy dentition and restoring its physiological functions. The difficulty of treating inflammatory periodontal diseases is that known and standard methods (antibacterial therapy and courses of local therapy) do not always give a positive result and a long period of remission. Therefore, to improve the quality of medical care for patients with periodontal pathology, it is necessary to introduce new innovative methods of treatment in dental practice. Given the patterns of pathophysiological processes occurring in periodontal tissues and bone tissue of the alveolar process, to date, several stages of treatment and rehabilitation measures have been proposed. The first stage is the elimination of the pathogenic action of microbial factors and inflammatory processes in periodontal tissues. Microbial invasion and the inflammatory reaction of periodontal tissues caused by it activate the processes of osteoclastical bone resorption. The task of the second stage of treatment and rehabilitation measures is to restore the physiological structure of gums and bone by normalizing metabolic processes in periodontal tissues, reducing the activity of resorption processes and stimulating reparative osteogenesis in the bone tissue of the alveolar process and the body in general, surgical treatment. At the third stage of treatment and rehabilitation measures, teeth with a significant degree of atrophy of the alveolar process are removed, which cannot be used for prosthetics. To restore the integrity of the dentition, even distribution of masticatory load, appropriate prosthetics are performed. The use of the latest methods contributes to the effective treatment of periodontal disease in the early stages, stabilization of the process at deeper stages, in some cases helps to avoid surgery.

Background. The prevalence of acute urticaria in children remains high. Urticaria is polietiologic disease, maintaining the homeostasis of the body is carried out by close cooperation of various parts of the immune system. The aim of this investigation was to study the features of innate immunity in children with moderate acute urticaria. Methods. To achieve this goal 71 children with moderate acute urticaria were examined. The control group included 30 healthy children of both sexes of the same age. Clinical methods of the study included disease history analysis, phisical examination of the child with determination of the degree of urticaria severity (calculation of the urticaria activity index within 7 days). Immunological methods included NK-lymphocytes, CD14+CD282+, CD14+CD284+, CD14+CD289+, serum IgE level, lactoferrin, IFN-y, IL-4, IL-6, test with NBT rate. Statistical calculations were performed in R Foundation for Statistical Computing. Results. Urticaria with undetermined causal factor happend more often, urticaria with allergic or pseudo-allergic genesis, as well as parasitic infections were established only in 17% of patients, family allergic history was found in a third of patients, in 41% of children acute urticaria proceeded with angioedema, in 9,3% of children urticaria acquired chronic course. Statistically significant increase of CD14+CD284+, decrease of CD14+CD289+, high concentrations of lactoferrin, decrease of natural killers, increase total serum IgE level in the half of the patients, low microbicidal activity with a decrease in adaptation reserves and reduced levels of IL-4, increased the content of IFN-y were found. Conclusion. The revealed changes indicate an imbalance in innate immunity, the launch of the cytokine cascade of inflammation, which is accompanied by further activation of the regulatory components of the inflammatory process in children suffering from acute urticaria.

The issues of clarifying the key mechanisms of development and course of generalized periodontitis in different conditions of reactivity of the organism remain relevant. The aim of the research is study of the peculiarities of course of the inflammatory-destructive process in the periodontium according to the dynamics of clinical and paraclinical indicators depending on the state of reactivity of the body in the conditions of modeling hyper- and hyporeaction. Materials and methods. The experiments were performed on 24 adult not purebred dogs weighing 8-12 kg. The animals were divided into three equal groups. In the first group, drugs that disrupt the reactivity of the organism were not used (normoreactivity of the organism). In the second group drugs simulated the state of hyperreactivity, and in the third they provoked the condition of the hyporeactivity of the organism. The condition of periodontal tissues was assessed initially, on the 14th and 28th day of observation of clinical and paraclinical parameters (creviculars liquor, PMA indices, PI Russell, GI Fedorov-Volodkina, Kulazhenko's test). Results. On the 14th day of modelling the states of hyper- and hyporeactivity of the organism a number of differences in the nature of inflammation in periodontal tissues were revealed in animals of different groups. Control of the amount of creviculars liquor increased in 1,1 times, PMA indices, PI Russell, GI Fedorov-Volodkina, Kulazhenko's test, respectively, in 1,12; 1,19; 1,33 and 1,29 times (p <0,05). On the 28th day of the experiment, significant differences in the intensity of the destructive process in animals with unchanged and changed reactivity of the organism attracted attention. Thus, in cases of normoreactivity the depth of periodontal pockets reached 3 mm, the mobility of the teeth was I degree, with the changed - the depth of periodontal pockets was 5-6 mm, the mobility of the teeth was II-III degree. The amount of creviculars liquor, reflecting the intensity of the inflammatory reaction, increased compared with the 14th day, 1,3 times (p <0,05); PMA index, which characterizes the prevalence of gingivitis, and the Kulazhenko test probably did not change (p> 0,05); Russell's PI index, which indicates a pronounced intensity of inflammatory-destructive periodontal lesions, increased 2,05 times (р <0,05). Conclusions. Thus, in cases of normoreactivity of organism the inflammatory-destructive process in periodontium has moderate nature; when modelling the hyper- and hyporeactivity of the organism it acquires the character of “rapidly progressing periodontitis”. Therefore, it is necessary to continue studying the question of explaining the mechanism of different clinical course of the inflammatory-destructive process with changed and unchanged reactivity of the organism.

Aim. To evaluate the results of surgical treatment of patients with moderate chronic periodontitis with different dental pulp status by determining sRANKL, OPG and FGF-2 in mixed saliva and dynamic densitotomometry data.Materials and methods. Surgical treatment of 24 patients with moderate chronic periodontitis was performed. Three months before the operation, according to the indications, endodontic treatment of the examined teeth was performed in some patients. Depending on the status of the dental pulp, the patients were divided into two groups: I – patients with vital teeth, II – patients with teeth after endodontic treatment. Before and after surgery, all patients underwent clinical examination, enzyme immunoassay of saliva remodeling markers and optical densitotomometry of periodontal bone to compare the results of treatment. Results. The OHI-S index showed a significant decrease in the mean value by 12 months of observation in both groups, which was statistically significant. Higher indices of the PI index by the end of the observation period were detected in the area of depulpated teeth. An equivalent dynamics of a decrease in the value of periodontal attachment according to the CAL index was revealed in both groups after treatment. The saliva showed an equivalent decrease in sRANKL, an increase in OPG by the end of the observation period, statistically insignificant when compared between groups. FGF-2 remained undetected at any of the observation periods in all groups. Densitotomometry data indicated an increase in the density characteristics of periodontal bone by the end of observations with a stable dependence on lower values in the area of depulpated teeth. Conclusions. In the saliva of patients, the processes of periodontal bone resorption were found to be statistically equivalent in intensity, regardless of the status of the dental pulp. The absence of FGF-2 content in saliva until the end of the observation period should be considered as an indicator of periodontal healing of vital and depulpated teeth by the formation of fibrous connective tissue. Dynamic densitotomometry of alveolar bone tissue revealed statistically significantly lower density characteristics in the area of teeth with a condition after endodontic treatment.

Subject. The prevalence of inflammatory periodontal diseases among elderly people, regardless of their gender, ranges from 69 to 98 % worldwide. Periodontitis is a chronic bacterial disease that proceeds with intoxication of the body, thereby causing serious health problems. It has been proven that periodontitis can cause myocardial infarction and habitual miscarriage. Local and systemic treatment of diseases of this pathology is primarily aimed at suppressing pathogenic bacteria. It is obvious that, in the conditions of total antibiotic resistance of microorganisms and a considerable list of contraindications and complications of the antibiotic therapy, the search for new ways to combat them becomes vital. The main thing is that antibiotics disrupt the biological balance of the biopsy of the body which the patient has to restore from several months to several years. Under these conditions, the use of bacteriophages is an extremely promising solution. Bacteriophages are natural antimicrobial highly sensitive medications. They consist of viruses that target a bacterial cell. In these circumstances, bacteriophages do not harm the microbiota of the oral cavity. A literature review on the use of bacteriophages in dentistry for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues has been conducted by us. The mechanism of action of bacteriophages, the strengths and weaknesses of the use of phage therapy have also been considered. Goal ― to study the use of bacteriophages for the treatment of patients with inflammatory periodontal diseases. Methodology. The literature review of more than 40 scientific sources has been conducted. Conclusion. The use of bacteriophages is a promising issue. Their effectiveness has been confirmed in the treatment of infectious and inflammatory periodontal diseases and diseases of the oral mucosa. They demonstrate high efficiency to improve the hygiene of the oral cavity and reduce inflammation. Being highly targeted viral medications, they act upon a specific bacterium without affecting the natural microbiota of a person.

Specific antibodies to porcine gingival type III collagen were raised in sheep. After purification on collagen affinity columns the antibodies were used for immunohistochemical localization of type III collagen in porcine periodontal and dental tissues employing the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) procedure. The extent of staining of the periodontal tissues was found to approximate the amount of type III collagen measured biochemically. A fairly uniform distribution of type III collagen was observed in the periodontal ligament and gingiva with more intense staining often being associated with blood vessels. A regular pattern of weakly staining fibers could be demonstrated throughout the cementum and in parts of the alveolar bone tissue. In addition, occasional sites in the cementum having a different morphological appearance from the rest of the cementum exhibited bundles of positively stained fibers. Although the bone tissue was essentially unstained, fibers in the endosteal spaces stained strongly. Sharpey's fibers passing from the soft connective tissues into alveolar bone and cementum also stained strongly. Three distinct arrangements of collagen fibers stained by the type III collagen antibodies could be identified: first, a reticular pattern, which was seen at the junction of the gingival epithelium and connective tissue, and in the endosteal spaces and dental pulp; second, a more diffuse pattern of fibers intermingled with type I collagen in the soft connective tissues; and third, a coating of some Sharpey's fibers, having a core believed to be type I collagen, and of fibers in the cementum inclusions.

At present, there is no definitive opinion on the effect of thyroid hormones on bone metabolism, as the dualism of their effects has been proven. Various studies show mixed data on metabolic changes in periodontal tissues on the background of thyroid dysfunction. Bone tissue plays a key role in the complex system of mechanisms of regulation of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis in the body. The processes of modeling and remodeling of bone and its mineralization are closely related to calcium metabolism. The biochemical manifestation of osteoporotic processes in the cell bone in generalized periodontitis is a violation of calcium-phosphorus homeostasis on the background of altered markers of bone metabolism. According to the literature, it is known that the main indicator of calcium-phosphorus metabolism is the content of calcium in the serum. However, for the metabolic characteristics of the inflammatory-dystrophic process in the cell bone, it is necessary to study the level of inorganic phosphorus and calculate the molar ratio of calcium / phosphorus. The calcium / phosphorus ratio in the blood is important for the study of calcium deposits in bone tissue. Maintenance of normal bone structure depends on the exchange of phosphates between blood and bone tissue. Magnesium along with calcium is needed to achieve optimal bone mineral density. Magnesium helps maintain normal levels of calcium in bone tissue, its constant renewal in bone, prevents calcium loss. With limited intake of magnesium, the formation of calcium phosphate is inhibited. In order to establish indicators that would reflect the peculiarities of metabolic disorders in the organic matrix of the cell process, which is the main component of the periodontium, we conducted biochemical studies, which included the study of calcium-phosphorus metabolism and serum magnesium in patients with primary hypothyroidism and persons without endocrine pathology. According to the results of studies, in young people with generalized periodontitis on the background of reduced thyroid function, there were violations of calcium-phosphorus metabolism in the serum, which consisted of hypocalcemia and decreased calcium-phosphorus ratio. This may indicate abnormalities in calcium intake and absorption in patients with hypothyroidism. We attribute this fact to the fact that for the normal absorption and metabolism of calcium, thyroid hormones are needed, the production of which is reduced in this endocrine pathology. Data on the negative changes of calcium-phosphorus homeostasis, and especially the violation of calcium absorption by patients with generalized periodontitis in young people with primary hypothyroidism, should be considered when developing schemes for the treatment and prevention of periodontal disease in this category of patients.

A search was conducted in the databases Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, The Cochrane Library. Periodontal disease is the main cause of tooth loss. Periodontitis is an inflammatory dise-ase caused by a specific microflora and leads to the progressive destruction of the ligaments of the tooth and alveolar bone. This is accompanied by the formation of the gums recession, the formation of periodontal pockets, both separately and mutually. Periodontitis is observed in 9–85 % of children, 70–90 % of adolescents, more than half of adults. Activation of inflammation in the periodontium is inextricably linked with systemic processes in the body, which are accompanied by an inflammatory response, and therefore perio-dontitis is a concomitant factor in coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular disease/ischemic stroke, adversely affects the digestive, cardiovascular, endocrine and other systems. Uncontrolled inflammatory response of the body in the conditions of microbial biofilm, which is tightly adjacent to the tooth surface, leads to the destruction of periodontal tissues, bone loss. If the acute inflammation subsides in time, preventing destruction without the complete return of tissues to homeostasis, it leads to damage caused by neutrophils and chronic inflammation. Systemic anti-inflammatory therapy with the use of non-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is an important direction of periodontitis therapy, which reduces the intensity of inflammation, minimizes the destruction of periodontal tissues, limits the resource of nutrients for pathogenic microorganisms, prevents resorption of alveolar bone. For the prevention of gastropathy, it is advisable to use a synthetic analogue of prostaglandin E2 misoprostol in the complex therapy. The mana-gement of drug interaction should be used when prescribing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to a patient taking sulfonylureas, warfarin, antihypertensive drugs, and the like.
