Sinev I. I.

The article presents the author's method of patients’ rehabilitation with chronic localized periodontitis of moderate severity in the lower jaw. The aim- to improve the treatment of patients with chronic localized periodontitis of moderate severity in the lower jaw using a modernized fixed splint design. Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of 25 patients aged 35 to 58 years were carried out. The examination included an assessment of the dental and periodontal status. The inflammation degree of the periodontal tissues was researched using the Müllemann-Cowell index. We used the Miller scale in the Flezar modification to study the degree of tooth mobility. We also used X-ray research methods, namely, orthopantomography, enlargement radiography and computed tomography of the lower jaw. Periotestometry and occlusiography were also carried out. The use of the proposed method of teeth splinting makes it possible to achieve immobilization of movable teeth, to prevent the development of periodontitis of moderate severity and possible complications.
