Therapeutic physical factors at chronic generalized periodontitis (literature review)

Abstract

Strengthening public health and increasing the life expectancy of Russians are the most priority tasks of the state. Chronic generalized periodontitis occupies one of the leading places among the urgent problems of dentistry. The main therapeutic and preventive measure in this case, through which the preservation and strengthening of the health of the population is achieved, is medical rehabilitation using therapeutic physical factors. The inclusion of therapeutic physical factors in the rehabilitation treatment programs for various chronic diseases, including periodontal diseases, significantly increases the clinical effectiveness of rehabilitation programs, which is associated with the summation and mutual potentiation of their therapeutic effects, comparability and minimal side effects. So, numerous studies on the use of therapeutic physical factors in dentistry convincingly testify to the sanogenetic effects of therapeutic mud, mineral bischofite complexes, mineral waters in the treatment of inflammatory periodontal diseases. The rationale for the development of new treatment and rehabilitation technologies for chronic generalized periodontitis is the insufficient effectiveness of the existing standardized methods of treating this category of patients. The review article is devoted to the restorative treatment of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis. Indications and contraindications for the use of therapeutic physical factors (balneological methods, pelotherapy, apparatus physiotherapy, climatotherapy, psychotherapy, diet therapy, new forms of balneo- and phytopreparations) for this category of patients are presented. It should also be noted the role of promoting a healthy lifestyle, including training in primary and secondary prevention, in order to preserve the dental health of the Russian population.
