EHF-waves in treatment periodontitis and dentoalveolar anomalies: pathogenetic and gender specific
The aim was to study gender-specific impact of combined treatment with EHF-therapy on rheological properties of blood in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP) mild to moderate severity and dentoalveolar anomalies and deformations. Material and Methods: We studied 80 patients (43.8% male) with CGP and dentoalveolar anomalies and deformations aged 42±5 years. 41 patients (43.9% male) have mild severity of CGP, and 39 patients (43.6% male) have moderate severity. 40 healthy adults (50% male), aged 31±7years, were studied also. We evaluated dynamics of plasma viscosity, and rheological features of erythrocytes and platelets (aggregation and deformability) under combined treatment with EHF-therapy. Results and Conclusion: In patients with moderate severity CGP, combined treatment with using EHF-waves over CGP restore disturbances in blood viscosity and rheological properties of erythrocytes and platelets (aggregation and deformability). In women, therapy accompanied by full restoration of blood rheology, but this effect was partial in men. In patients with mild CGP, treatment had no significant effect on the rheological properties of blood.
