Local anesthesia in adolescents with high anxiety levels.

Objective: Aim: To assess the effectiveness of local anesthesia in the treatment of acute forms of caries, pulpitis, and periodontitis in adolescents with a high level of baseline anxiety.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: 1.7 ml of local amide anesthetic from the articaine series was used.

IMMUNITY CHANGES IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MAXILLOFACIAL ODONTOGENIC INFECTIONS DURING TREATMENT STAGES: AN ANALYSIS.

Objective: The aim: Evaluate the expediency of using different methods of treatment for patients with acute purulent-odontogenic inflammatory processes in both the main and control groups. This assessment will be based on various indicators of non-specific immunity.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: This study involved the evaluation of the humoral component of nonspecific immunity in 114 patients.

ORAL HYGIENE STATE IN CHILDREN WITH CONGENITAL DEFECTS OF THE ALVEOLAR PROCESS ON THE MAXILLA.

Bone plasty of congenital and residual defects of the alveolar process of the upper jaw is a technically difficult surgical intervention which is necessary for full rehabilitation of a patient with congenital lip and palate clefts. This operation creates conditions for stabilization of maxilla fragments and normalization of the upper jaw development and also for successful teeth eruption. The aim of the study - to assess the state of oral hygiene before surgery in children with congenital residual defect of the alveolar process we used Fedorov-Volodkina Hygiene Index and index of the intensity of gingivitis (РМА) according to Masser-Parma.

Identification of Pathogenic Microflora and Its Sensitivity to Antibiotics in Cases of the Odontogenic Purulent Periostitis and Abscesses in the Oral Cavity.

Odontogenic infections are the most common infectious and inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial area and problem of the causative pathogen identification is an actual task, part of a permanent process of updating and modernization of treatment and diagnostic protocols and standards. In presented study a purulent exudate from 13 patients with acute purulent odontogenic intraoral lesions was studied by bacteriological method with detection of sensitivity to antibacterial agents. Bacteriological studies showed that genus Streptococcus predominated in 69.

[THE STRENGTH OF ADHESION TO HARD TISSUES OF NON-VITAL TEETH OF DENTAL PHOTOCOMPOSITE FILLING (RESTORATIVE) MATERIALS IN COMBINATION WITH VARIOUS ADHESIVE SYSTEMS].

Improvement the mechanisms and levels of adhesion forces of dental photocomposite filling (restorative) materials to hard tissues of teeth, improvement of filling materials and increasing their availability is an urgent problem for theoretical and practical dentistry. Aim of the study - experimental evaluation of the strength of adhesion to the hard tissues of non-vital teeth for adhesive systems in combination with modern dental photocomposite filling (restorative) materials. 80 tests of the adhesion strength of the dental photocomposite filling (restorative) material to the tooth hard tissues (shear strength) were carried out for 8 pairs of "photocomposite-adhesive system" using an automated tensometric system.
