ANALYSIS OF THE DENTAL STATUS AND ITS CORRECTION IN PATIENTS WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM

Abstract

The article presents the results of scientific research, the purpose of which was to study at the clinical level the relationship of pathological changes in the state of the oral cavity and hypothyroidism and the effectiveness of the proposed complex treatment regimen. The prevalence and intensity of periodontal disease in 150 patients with hypothyroidism was evaluated using the WHO methods and criteria, CPITN index, 1980. The average age of the patients was 31.6±0.46 years. During the work, the state of periodontal tissues was determined before and after the end of the course of therapy and after 1.3 and 6 months by the GI gingivitis index (Loe H., Silness J., 1963). Depending on the treatment method, patients were divided into 3 groups. The local treatment in the control group – 12, included professional hygiene. In the second group, the comparison group – 11, an antiseptic was additionally used, a 0.05% chlorhexidine solution, and in the main group – 13, hyaluronic acid was additionally included in the complex. The prevalence of periodontal disease among patients with hypothyroidism was 96%. After complex treatment in the main group, index indices at all stages continued to decline more pronouncedly than in other groups. So, if in this group the gingival index index after 1 month decreased to 0.63±0.027 points, then in the comparison group the values were higher and amounted to 0.72±0.023 points ((р<0,05), and in the control group turned out to be even higher – 1.11±0.030 points (р<0,05).
