[Adsorption therapy for acute suppurative periostitis of the jaw]

Capillaries and tissue leukocyte cytograms in soft gingival tissues were examined by optic microscopy in patients with acute purulent periostitis of the jaws treated by different methods. Disorders in the lymph outflow from gingival tissues were detected, which were due to dilatation of the lymph vessels and interstitial spaces in the mucosal lamina propria and stasis with leukocyte aggregation and purulent clots in the lumina of many lymph vessels. Less pronounced dilatation of interstitial spaces and lymph vessels, higher counts of lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages in the tissues of the gingival mucosa lamina propria, observed 2 days after the beginning of adsorption therapy of the subperiosteal abscess cavity, indicate that this therapy is more effective in acute purulent periostitis than traditional treatment.
