[Technologies for early diagnosis of oral mucosal diseases].

Objective: Expert evaluation of minimally invasive techniques in the diagnostic algorithm of pathological processes of the oral mucosa.

Material And Methods: Fluorescence stomatoscopy of the oral mucosa of 1520 patients aged 18-65 years with analysis of color code of optical images was carried out. The nature of the disease was established by liquid cytology.

[Effect of sandblasting on the microroughness of ceramic restorations].

The influence of aero-abrasive technology on the microroughness of the ceramic samples standardized in shape, structure, and manufacturing method was studied by comparing the results obtained from the action of alumina particles of 27 and 50 μm size under a pressure of 0.5 and 2 atm for 5 seconds at a distance of 3 cm. To objectify the features of the treated surface relief its micro-roughness has been studied.

[Experimental and clinical rationale for the use of modern methods of teeth hyperesthesia treatment].

The aim of the study was to increase the effectiveness of treatment hyperesthesia of tooth tissues by improving medical and hygienic complexes based on the study of structural changes in dentin. A two-stage study was conducted. In the course of the experimental stage, the microstructure of the tooth dentin surface was studied in terms of its relief on an atomic force microscope in normal conditions, with hypersensitivity and under the influence of the studied preparations (Gluma Desensitizer, Tokuyama Shield Force Plus, Colgate SensitivePro-Relief, Biorepair Oral Care), the material for studing was human teeth with hypersensitive dentin (100) of 1-2 degrees and 25 teeth without hyperesthesia (control group).

[Oral diseases structure in patients with diffuse liver lesions before and after transplantation].

Unlabelled: Purpose of the study was to identify dental risk factors for complications at the stage of rehabilitation adaptation in patients with diffuse liver lesions. The study included 52 patients with diffuse liver lesions aged 25-55 years, who were divided between two groups of 26 persons with different dental status, depending on the main disease stage of treatment.

Research Methods: Clinical, x-ray, morphological, analytical, statistical.

[Relationship between visceral diseases and oral health].

The paper analyzes the literature showing that there is not only a phylogenetic relationship, but also a functional one between visceral diseases and oral health. It gives data on the unity of the occurrence of somatic and dental diseases. There is evidence for cause-and-effect relationships between them, which arise from immune imbalance, interleukin dysregulation, and nonspecific inresistance.

[Integrated approach to the treatment of oral mucosa diseases in patients with chronic gastritis].

The article presents data on the clinical and microbiological short and long term efficacy of treatment of the oral mucosa diseases in patients with Helicobacter pylori associated and not associated chronic gastritis depending on the chosen treatment regimen.

[Analysis of the oral cavity clinical immunological status in patients with chronic generalized mild and moderate parodontitis when treated with antibacterial means].

The article highlights the data about local immunity of the patients having cronic generalized periodontitis. Results of the conservative treatment with adhesive balm Asepta, gel Hyaludent with metronidazole and clorhexidine and Metrogyl Denta have shown the influence upon immunologic status of the patients.

[Mistakes and complications appearing during treatment of chronic pulpitis of the deciduos teeth in children].

On the basis of clinical data dentists' mistakes and complication appearing in treatment of chronic pulpitis of the deciduous teeth in children in private dental clinics were investigated. Causes of their occurrence were revealed and ways of their prophylaxis were suggested.

[Optical coherence tomography in the evaluation of the oral cavity mucosa. Part II. Benign and malignant diseases].

This paper is the last one in the series of publications on the investigation of the capability of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in diagnostic of state of oral cavity mucosa. Part II demonstrates the diversity of optical images, different forms specific to leukoplakia, lichen planus and squamous cell carcinoma on the basis of the investigation of 56 pathologic lesions of 43 patients with precancer and cancer of oral cavity. The OCT sensitivity in malignancy detection in oral cavity is high - 83%, specificity is 98%, and accuracy is 81%.

[Optic coherent tomography in evaluation of the buccal mucosa status. Communication 1. Normal mucosa].

The potentialities of optic coherent tomography (OCT) in the diagnosis of the buccal mucosa status were studied and the results are presented in two communications. Communication 1 demonstrates the tomograms of various parts of normal buccal mucosa and methods of their identification as exemplified by analysis of 1180 in vivo and 43 ex vivo OCT images. Using parallel histo-tomographic comparison, the authors distinguished the main signs of optic images, depending on the type of epithelium and characteristic features of the connective tissue stroma in various parts of the buccal mucosa.

[On racial-ethnic features of the mucosal structure of the gingival edge and tongue].

The structure of the mucosal membrane of the gingiva and dorsal surface of the tongue was studied in 415 residents (men and women aged 18-35 years) of Africa, Southern, Central, and Northern Asia, and Russia in order to detect racial and ethnic differences. A complex of modern methods of investigation was used (use of intraoral videotape recorder, digital photo, computer analysis, plaster models, uni- and multi-dimensional mathematical analysis). The data can be practically important in forensic medical personality identification.

[Complex study of the tongue mucosa for identification of a person].

Patterns of the dorsal surface of the mucosa of the tongue was studied in order to detect its specific features in 749 normal subjects of both sexes aged 5-85 years (422 men and 327 women). Racial characteristics of the tongue mucosa structure were studied in 114 foreign students from Africa and Asia. Tongues of 272 corpses of both sexes were examined.
