FEATURES OF DEVELOPMENT OF GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS IN PERSONS WITH SECRETORY IMMUNOGLOBULIN A DEFICIENCY AND ITS...

The aim: To present data on the possibility of occurrence and active progression of generalized periodontitis in persons with secretory immunoglobulin A deficiency and possible methods of its correction.

Мaterials and methods: Analytical elaboration of scientific and medical literature based on the immunological aspect of generalized periodontitis.

Conclusions: The deficiency of secretory immunoglobulin A may occur in cases of primary or secondary insufficiency of the immune system. Selective IgA deficiency is an example of primary insufficiency of the immune system. Secondary immunodeficiency disorders is a clinical and immunological syndrome that develops against the background of a previously normally functioning immune system, characterized by a steady decrease in quantitative or functional indicators of specific or(and) nonspecific factors of immunoresistance. Insufficient awareness of dentists about certain aspects of the etiology and pathogenesis of generalized periodontitis leads to deterioration of treatment results.
