Infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori in Europe and North America is observed in 35-50% of the population. At the same time, in the countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the prevalence reaches up to 90%, in Russia the percentage of occurrence of the disease ranges from 70-92%. Along with this, it is of particular interest to study the colonization of H. Pylori periodontal pockets with varying degrees of severity of chronic generalized periodontitis. Objective: to assess the degree of infection of the periodontal pocket with Helicobacter pylori in patients with varying degrees of severity of chronic generalized periodontitis. Materials and methods: 126 patients with various degrees of severity of chronic generalized periodontitis were examined at an outpatient appointment with a dentist – surgeon: the first group (n= 39) patients with mild severity; the second group (n= 42) with moderate severity and the third group (n=45) with severe severity and the group The control group consisted of 39 patients with healthy periodontitis. Based on the conducted research, it can be concluded that with an increase in inflammatory and destructive changes in periodontal tissues, the frequency of detection of IG G to Helicobacter Pylori in capillary blood also increases.
