[Aging and periodontal diseases (review)].

The review on associative communications of periodontal diseases, aging and age associated pathology is submitted. Uniform pathophysiological and pathogenetic mechanisms of these processes and their interrelation are analyzed. The question of existence of so-called periodontal-systemic connection is discussed.

[Associations of periodontal diseases with somatic therapeutic pathology, comorbid conditions in patients of advanced and senile age: state-of-the-art review. Part 2. Associations of periodontal diseases with comorbid conditions in patients of advanced and senile age].

The state-of-the-art review of literature on existing views on the association of periodontal diseases with somatic therapeutic pathology (part 1 of the review) and comorbid conditions (part 2 of the review) is submitted. The conclusion about need of carrying out the further multicenter researches which purpose is development of new integrated indicators, in a complex and comprehensively characterizing not only the periodontal status, but also set of available somatic therapeutic pathology, especially at patients of advanced and senile age is drawn.

[Pathogenetic associations of periodontal diseases with somatic therapeutic pathology, comorbid conditions in patients of advanced and senile age: state-of-the-art review. Part 1. Associations of periodontal diseases with somatic therapeutic pathology in patients of advanced and senile age].

The state-of-the-art review of literature on existing views on the association of periodontal diseases with somatic therapeutic pathology (first part of the review) and comorbid conditions (second part of the review) is submitted. The conclusion about need of carrying out the further multicenter researches which purpose is development of new integrated indicators, in a complex and comprehensively characterizing not only the periodontal status, but also set of available somatic therapeutic pathology, especially at pa- tients of advanced and senile age is drawn.

[Indicators of the oral health quality of life in geriatrics].

The literature review is submitted according to dental health in patients of different age groups in foreign countries and in the Russian Federation. The positive and negative aspects of available criteria of its assessment including a sociological component are analysed. Further researches, their prospects are defined by the need of development of new integrated indicators, in a complex and comprehensively characterizing the stomatologic status especially in patients of advanced and senile age in interrelation with the general level of health and the social status.

[The comparative analysis of the medico-social characteristics and objective somato-stomatology status in the patients who have worried at children's age the siege of Leningrad and their contemporaries].

The research is executed on 73 patients of the senile age who have worried in their childhood the siege of Leningrad and group of comparison--140 patients of comparable age. The comparative analysis of indicators of the medico-social, objective somatic and dental status at the patients who have worried at children's age the siege of Leningrad and their contemporaries, not being exposed extreme impacts of the siege is carried out. The essential increase in number of correlative communications between an indicator of a cumulative rating scale of somatic diseases and the stomatologic status at the patients of the senile age who have endured the siege is established.
