COMPARISON OF DIODE LASERS EFFICIENCY AND APPLICATIVE AGENTS IN THE COMPLEX OF LOCAL TREATMENT OF RECURRENT APHTHOUS STOMATITIS AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF INFLAMMATORY DISEASES OF THE DIGESTIVE TRACT WITH SYMPTOMS OF GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE AND CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASES

Abstract

Objective. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the effect of various diode lasers in the complex of local treatment of patients with recurrent oral aphthae on the background of inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract. Materials and methods. An examination and a complex of local treatment were carried out, as well as dynamic observation of 58 patients aged 25 to 45 years with the presence of aphthous rashes on the mucous membrane of the vestibulum and the oral cavity itself. The patients participating in the study were divided into 2 study groups. To relieve inflammation, diode lasers with different power and wavelength were used, as well as applications of various means with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, increasing epithelialization and regeneration of the mucous membrane in the area of the aphthous element. The estimation of the level of intensity of nociceptive pain level was assessed based on the data of the visual analog pain scale (VAS). Results and discussion. During the clinical observation of 1–5–7 days, the effect of a diode laser, regardless of the wavelength and intensity of radiation, contributed to a decrease in the intensity of inflammation, an increase in the rate of mucosal epithelialization and a leveling of the intensity of the pain level. A decrease in the intensity of pain was observed on average by 3.0 ± 0.8 and 3.5 ± 0.5 days, complete epithelialization of aphthous elements and leveling of all complaints was observed by 4.9 ± 0.4 and 4.7 ± 0.4 days of local treatment. Conclusions. The inclusion of various types of diode lasers in the scheme of local treatment of aphthous stomatitis in combination with applications are highly effective methods and contributes not only to the qualitative relief of pain, inflammation, but also contributes to the acceleration of epithelialization and regeneration of the mucous membrane in this group of patients. Summary. The effect of diode lasers and applications of powdered platelet autologous plasma, benzydamine hydrochloride and hyaluronidase 64 MU lyophilizate and Ora-Aid self-adhesive patch have high clinical efficacy in the complex of local treatment of recurrent ulcerative stomatitis against the background of inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract with symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease and chronic inflammatory bowel diseases.
