MODERN APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES

Periodontal diseases, like the well-known caries, are widespread among the population the entire globe. According to the World Health Organization, about 95% of the adult population and 80% of children have signs of periodontal disease. Clinical forms of periodontal diseases in children differ greatly from similar conditions in adults. All pathological processes develop in a child in growing, developing and reconstructing tissues, which are still morphologically and functionally immature and may inadequately respond to similar stimuli and causal factors that cause periodontal diseases in adults. Of great importance in the pathogenesis of the development of the disease is the possibility of a disproportion in the growth and maturation of immature structures, which can arise both within the system (tooth, periodontium, alveolar bone,etc.), and in the structures and systems that provide and adapt the entire body to external conditions from birth to old age. This causes the occurrence of juvenile gingivitis, periodontitis and periodontoma, which arise as a result of temporary transient functional hypertension, carbohydrate metabolism disorders (juvenile diabetes, diencephalic syndrome, etc.).
