THE NEED FOR PATHOGENETIC THERAPY OF DENTAL CARIES IN PATIENTS WITH DISEASES OF THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT

Аннотация

The incidence of dental caries in patients with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract was studied in terms of prevalence and intensity; assessment of the need for pathogenetic therapy of dental caries in this category of patients. In patients with a non-erosive form of GERD, the intensity of tooth decay was 11.40 + 0.52 affected teeth, then with an erosive form, the intensity of caries was already equal to 14.40 + 0.72 affected teeth, the difference with NEFGERB is reliable (P1 ≤ 0.05); and in patients with Barrett's oesophagus - was already 18.65 + 0.86 affected teeth (P1 ≤ 0.05; P2 ≤ 0.05). Analysis of the elements that make up the KPU index revealed an increase in the intensity and specific gravity in the structure of the KPU index of the elements "K" - caries and "U" - extracted teeth, synchronized with the severity of the lesion. The study of the intensity of caries in the index age group of 35-44 years (according to WHO criteria) demonstrated an increase in the prevalence of very high and high intensity of caries in the absence of very low and a decrease in the frequency of occurrence of low and medium intensity.
