Shvets I. Treatment of generalized periodontitis in patients with chronic inflammatory processes of gastrointestinal tract with the use of mineral water of Morshyn resort

Two hundred six individuals with diseases of gastrointestinal tract who were treated at the resort "Prolisok" (Morshyn, Lviv region) and ninghtly four individuals without concomitant somatic diseases, who asked for dental help in city clinic of Morshyn have been examined. It has been established that with age in patients with generalized periodontitis with simultaneous damage to gastrointestinal tract, a correlation between certain indices of oral fluid and intragastic medium exists: decrease in pH activity of lysozyme of oral fluid and gastric juice, increase in content of free, protein-bound sialic acids of the oral cavity and intragastric medium. Reduction of surface tension of oral fluid, Ca+ and P+ levels in increased viscosity and speed of secretion of oral fluid was observed.It has been established that anaerobic microflora in periodontal pockets is more often identified and progresses with increased degree of severity of generalized periodontitis in patients with damages to gastrointestinal tract, as compared to data of individuals with initial - III degree of severity of generalized periodontitis without concomitant somatic diseases.Tthe eleborated scheme of treatment and prevention of generalized periodontitis in individuals with diseases of gastrointestinal tract affect pathogenesis of this disease. Efficacy of the suggested complex treatment of generalized periodontitis in patients with diseases of gastrointestinal tract is confirmed by reduction of patients' visits in 1.7 times, improvement of periodontal status after treatment and long-term (up to 1.5 years) stabilization of pathological process in periodontal tissues.
