USE OF PHOTOTHERAPY AT DESTRUCTIVE FORMS OF PARODONTITIS
The article proves the positive influence of noncoherent red emission light while treating destructive forms of parodontitis. In order to treat apical periodontitis the dentists inserted the fiber optics of a photodiode unit into the tooth root up to the tooth root apex. Alternative noninvasive methods of diagnostics of bone tissue pathological changes, such as electoodontometry and analyses of stomatic fluid facies crystallography were used to support this method. The authors also conducted crystalloscopic oral fluid testing using the method of cuneated dehydration. The data obtained from electoodontometry showed that under the influence of phototherapy digital reading of apical dental ligament excitability reduced. Moreover, the authors have conducted the analysis of opportunity costs while treating destructive forms of parodontitis in a traditional way and while treating the patients using phototherapy. They came to the conclusion that the usage of fiber optics didn’t increase the cost of medical maintenance. In course of trial it was justified that the usage of red emission light while treating destructive forms of parodontitis reduced the rate of postobturative pain and created positive conditions for regeneration of periodont tissues architectonics.
