OPTIMIZATION OF TREATMENT OF DESTRUCTIVE FORMS OF CHRONIC APICAL PERIODONTITIS

Abstract

Increase of efficiency of treatment of patients with chronic apical periodontitis is a priority in dentistry. A root canal is a breeding ground for microorganisms. The main reason for unfavourable treatment outcomes of teeth with chronic apical periodontitis is incomplete debridement of the root canal system. Optimizing the treatment of patients with chronic periodontitis with the use of complex drugs galodent No. 4 (clotrimazole, tracert and calcium hydroxide) is a priority in dentistry. As a result of researches it is established that the antibacterial effect of the temporary investment of complex drugs galodent No. 4 and clotrimazole in the root canals of teeth with chronic apical periodontitis is 2,9 times higher and the proportion of positive results is, on average, 1,5 times higher compared to the practiced methods in the comparison groups
