PREVALENCE, DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF TRAUMATIC STOMATITIS

Abstract

The most complex pathology in therapeutic dentistry is oral mucosal disease (OMD). When diagnosing them, a dentist must meet a high professional level, have sufficient knowledge of diseases of other organs and systems of the body, and clearly determine the relationship between etiological factors. The search for modern approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic stomatitis remains relevant. The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of primary traumatic stomatitis, search for modern methods of their diagnosis, prognosis and treatment tactics in a clinic of therapeutic dentistry. The work was performed based on the analysis of data from the annual reports of the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry of PSMU on research and medical work, consultation journals for 8 years (2013/2020). The diagnosis of "traumatic stomatitis" was established on the basis of the classification of diseases of the SOPR by Professor P.T. Maksimenko (1998). According to the results of the analysis, it was found that the teachers of the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry saw 3582 patients with OSD pathology, which was 6.5% of the total number of patients. Traumatic stomatitis associated with the action of a mechanical factor was the most common. The modern approach to treatment included elimination of the traumatic factor, anesthesia, antiseptic treatment; in mild cases, the use of keratoplastic drugs, and in deeper cases, anti-inflammatory gels and ointments. To prevent secondary infection of the lesions, it is recommended to use oral baths with antimicrobial agents. Thus, traumatic stomatitis is not a severe pathology of the OSRD. In most cases of such diseases, the prognosis is favorable, but in the chronic course of the disease, with prolonged trauma, complications arise and without the intervention of a dentist, the prognosis may be unfavorable, so it is necessary to exercise cancer prevention.
