[Optimization of treatment hard tissue defects of the tooth located near gingiva]
Abstract:
Defects near gingiva--a common pathology of dental hard tissue, which adversely affects the health of marginal periodontium. Subgingival tooth cavity is the retention factor for parodontopatogenic microorganisms. Chronic inflammation in the marginal periodontium in response to microbial invasion may lead to local periodontitis (periodontal pocket/gingival recession). Treatment of defects near gingiva should include the removal of the main etiological factors of disease: supraocclusion, bad habits, normalization of individual oral hygiene. Substitution therapy is the defect filling. The most suitable filling material on physicochemical and mechanical properties of composite recognized. Treatment of gingival defects is carried out after surgical correction of gingiva. Optimal conditions are achieved using the sealing hemostatic and retraction paste.
