Complex treatment of periodontitis in patients with fractures of the lower jaw

Relevance . Tooth splints used to immobilize lower jaw fragments lead to the progression of periodontitis. Purpose . To study changes in periodontal tissues in patients with fractures of the lower jaw during immobilization with dentitional double jaw splints. Materials and methods . Patients with periodontitis during the treatment of fractures of the lower jaw were examined. Results . In patients with periodontitis who have a fracture of the lower jaw, inflammatory and destructive processes in periodontal tissues progress during the immobilization of fragments by the orthopedic method (tooth splints). Conclusion . Comprehensive treatment of periodontitis in fractures of the lower jaw, including dynamic magnetotherapy (DMT) and the treatment of periodontal pockets with liniment of cycloferon, reduces the severity of inflammatory and destructive processes in periodontal tissues.
