Laser therapy in treatment of generalized parodontitis

Laser therapy has a significant place among the treatment methods in stomatology. An experiment was carried out on 48 male white rats with the masses of 150,0-200,0 gr. Parodontitis was simulated by application of ligature around the dental cervix. Morphometric indicators such as diameter of arterioles and capillars Dk (mkm), density of blood vessels distribution VvK, diameter of the zone of peri-capillar diffusion Di (mkm) and intensity of the local blood circulation were taken as the criteria for the effectiveness of treatment. We also conducted microbiological studies of the mucous tunic of the oral cavity. The results gained on the seventh day of treatment equaled to the reference ones. As a result of a combined treatment with medications (3% indometacin ointment, heparin ointment, vitamins, ferments, antibiotics) and laser-beam therapy, the diameter of arterioles and capillaries was increased, or it is to say, the diameter indicator equaled to the reference one, the capillary distribution density V(v)(K) was increased and the diameter of peri-capillar diffusion was also increased. The indicator of the local blood circulation was increased and reached the norm. The analysis of the data gained through research indicates the effeciency of inclusion of laser therapy into the thorough treatment of parodontitis.
