[Traumatic defeats of the oral mucosa among people of the senior age groups: occurrence, consequences and treatment.].

Traumatic damages to the oral mucosa are the main predisposing factor for the development of the oncostomatological pathology among the old people. The aim of the investigation was to study the occurrence of traumatic lesions of the oral mucosa among people of old age groups and estimate the effectiveness of their treatment using modern domestic remedies. 967 people (569 males and 398 females) from 19 to 82 years old were examined to determine the occurrence of traumatic oral mucosal pathology. Value of effectiveness while treatment of 83 elderly patients using modern domestic agents «ASEPTA® adhesive balm for gums» and «ASEPTA® gel for gums with propolis» was assessed in comparison with vinylin for internal use. It is found that 9,41 and 9,52% of cases are traumatic lesions of the oral mucosa respectively among elderly and senile people respectively. The cause of them in 96,7-97,1% cases are traumatic factors while using removable dental prostheses; the untimely treatment of these factors in 7,9% leads to the formation of prosthetic fibroms. A comparative evaluation of the treatment effectiveness of prosthetic-etiology-traumatic lesions of the oral mucosa showed the advisability of using modern domestic agents like «ASEPTA® adhesive balm for gums» during the first 2 days from the start of therapy and then «ASEPTA® gel for gums with propolis» until complete healing of traumatic injuries, compared to the using of vinylin for internal use for the same purposes, which efficiency remains high. Timely detection and treatment of the traumatic defeats of oral mucosa are an important factors of prevention of oncostomatological pathologies among elderly and senile persons.
