Experience in the use of pulsed low-intensity magnetic field in the complex treatment of chronic periodontitis

Inflammatory and destructive changes in periodontal disease are one of the most common problems of modern medicine. Taking into account the multifactorial nature of periodontal diseases, the development of new treatment methods continues to be urgent. Physiotherapy methods play a significant role in the complex treatment of chronic periodontitis. The aim of the study was to study the effectiveness of the use of a pulsed low-intensity magnetic field in the complex treatment of chronic periodontitis. We observed 104 patients aged 20-65 years of both sexes with a diagnosis of mild to moderate chronic periodontitis. The examination before the start of treatment included a survey, examination, and measurement of the depth of periodontal pockets. To assess the condition of the oral cavity, the following indices were used: PMA, Green - Vermillion index, gingival sulcus bleeding index SBI, periodontal Russell index. Microcirculation was studied by laser Doppler flowmetry using the LACK-02 laser analyzer. The study included patients with periodontitis who underwent standard therapy in combination with ophthalmic exposure. All patients included in the study were divided into 4 groups. The results were evaluated immediately after treatment, 1 and 3 months after treatment. Conclusion: an analysis of the results of the study showed that the use of a pulsed low-intensity magnetic field is effective in the complex treatment of chronic periodontit
