TREATMENT EFFICACY FOR PERIODONTAL DISEASES IN MIDDLE-AGED INDIVIDUALS

Abstract

The aim of the study is to evaluate and analyze the effectiveness of the proposed treatment mode for periodontal disease in middle-aged individuals.   Subjects and methods.The study comprised 62 individuals aged 46 to 60 years, including 32 men and 30 women with periodontal tissue diseases. Among them there were 24 patients diagnosed with chronic catarrhal gingivitis, and 38 patients with generalized periodontitis at the initial-I degree of development. The examinations were conducted at the Dental Medical Centre of Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University. The comparison group underwent standard treatment, while the intervention group was recommended to use the "Forteza" rinse solution and "Chlorophyllipt" tablets. Various indices were evaluated in all patients, including the Green-Vermillion index, periodontal index, and papillary bleeding index, both before treatment, immediately after treatment, and 6 months post-treatment. Results. The results obtained indicated a significant decrease (p > 0.05) in hygiene, bleeding, and periodontal indices among patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis after treatment in both groups. However, it was noted that the baseline group exhibited superior outcomes compared to the comparison group. This difference persisted even 6 months after treatment. Similar results were obtained in patients with generalised periodontitis of the initial-I degree: the studied indices decreased in all patients immediately after treatment, but in the baseline group, the indices were significantly better immediately after treatment, and after six months. Conclusions. The study confirmed significantly better treatment results in the baseline group. In particular, in patients with CСG, the PBI index and PI index values in six months after the treatment completion were significantly better in group I B in 1.6 times (p>0.05) than in group I A. A similar result was obtained in patients with initial, I degree, GP, namely, in group II B, the PBI was significantly better in 1.6 times (p>0.05) than in group II A, and the PI index was 1.4 times, respectively. Therefore, the prospect of further research is the implementation of an effective treatment mode for periodontal disease in the clinical practice for various age groups.
