PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY DISEASES OF THE MAXILLOFACIAL REGION IN CHILDREN
Prevention and effective treatment of inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial region remains extremely relevant today. Among the factors causing the development of these processes, foci of chronic odontogenic infection, as well as a violation of the continuity of outpatient and inpatient support for surgical dental patients, are of primary importance. We have studied 595 sick children with odontogenic inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial area receiving inpatient treatment for OIUCH. The analysis of the clinical material shows that the majority of patients (91.9%) applied for surgical assistance to the hospital during an exacerbation of the process in the periodontium and periosteum. In 80.8% of the patient, collateral edema of soft tissues was determined in the area of the “causal” tooth, fistulas with purulent discharge in the area of the “causal” tooth occurred in 19.2% of patients, in 96.9%, the teeth were destroyed by a carious process. The purpose of prevention of acute inflammatory diseases of the maxillofacial region in children is: earlier referral and treatment of this category of patients in a specialized maxillofacial hospital; treatment of children with acute inflammatory processes is multicomponent, complex and can be carried out in full in the conditions in the OMOKB with modern diagnostic centers and an intensive care unit; to improve the quality of medical work through the psychological restructuring of adult general dentists, the desire to improve their skills in pediatric dentistry; complex treatment should include etio - pathogenetic therapy using modern principles of general and local treatment of inflammatory processes in the maxillofacial area
