Analysis of a complex evaluation of therapy for chronic herpetic stomatitis in the provision of orthodontic and orthopedic dental care

Abstract

Data from scientific and practical literature indicate that patients undergoing orthopedic and orthodontic treatment often have chronic diseases of the oral mucosa (OM), in particular, chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis (CRHS), which significantly complicates the possibility of full-fledged dental care. Therefore, issues of a comprehensive approach to the management of such patients become relevant. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the therapeutic and prophylactic action of 5% Cycloferon liniment and magnetic laser therapy in chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis during orthopedic and orthodontic treatment, based on the analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters. To achieve this goal, 87 patients with chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis (CRHS) were examined, for whom, taking into account the state of the oral mucosa, orthopedic (removable) and orthodontic (aligners) structures were made, and who were divided into two groups. The result of including Cycloferon in the therapy of CRHS in the first group and the same drug in combination with physiotherapy in the second group of the study was a more dynamic restoration of this indicator of non-specific immunity. Cycloferon, contributing to the reduction of treatment periods for CRHS, rapid elimination of inflammation symptoms, stabilization of remission processes, and, in general, increasing the effectiveness of the therapeutic measures.
