RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Aim: The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of professional teeth cleaning and the substances used in modern dentistry for whitening on the microelement composition of tooth enamel. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: To study the morphology and microelement composition of the enamel, scanning electron microscopy was performed using the MiraLM microscope equipped with a Schottky field emission electron gun from Tescan. RESULTS: Results: A comparative analysis between the areas subjected to mechanical cleaning and those where it was not applied revealed a significant difference in the research results, particularly in carbon, which changed from 25.16±1.04 to 32.02±1.8. An analysis of the enamel's chemical composition before and after whitening revealed a decrease in carbon from 45.91±1.20 to 42.46±1.74. The change in phosphorus content was determined to be from 9.77±0.39 to 9.56±0.75. A decrease in calcium from 15.96±0.64 to 15.21±1.22 and magnesium from 0.07±0.01 to 0.01±0.01 was also observed. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Professional dental hygiene does not have a direct impact on the microelement composition of enamel, such as the levels of calcium, phosphorus, fluoride, and other microelements. However, it can have an indirect and temporary influence due to the use of abrasive materials that affect dental deposits, pellicle, and the surface layer of enamel. Teeth whitening can affect the microelement composition of enamel, but these changes are mostly temporary and associated with processes of demineralization/ remineralization and oxygenation.

OBJECTIVE: The aim is to study the dynamics of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant protection in the blood of patients with generalized periodontitis accompanied by normo-, hyper- and hyporeactivity of the body after patch surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: 216 people aged 45 between 55 years with a diagnosis of generalized periodontitis of II, III degree of severity, chronic course were examined. Depending on the condition of reactivity of the organism, patients were divided into three groups: the first consisted of people with normoreaction; the second included patients with hyperreaction; the third group was made up by people with hyporeaction. Patients after initial therapy, underwent patch surgery. Blood sampling was performed after surgery on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th and 9th day. The content of diene conjugates, malonic dialdehyde and peroxide hemolysis of erythrocytes, superoxide dismutase activity, catalase, and total antioxidant activity was determined by the biochemical method. RESULTS: Results: Normoreaction was characterized by two-phase moderate activation of lipid peroxidation with maxima on the 1st and 6th day against the normalization of the balance of oxidative systems by the end of observations. For hyperreaction pronounced activation of lipid peroxidation (significant increase in the content of diene conjugates and malonic dialdehyde with a maximum on the 1st day) accompanied by depletion of antioxidant protection activity was typical. Hyporeaction was characterized by slow activation of lipid peroxidation (increase in diene conjugates and malonic dialdehyde with a maximum on the 4th day) accompanied by insufficient activity of antioxidant protection. CONCLUSION: Conclusion: Correction of altered parameters in patients with generalized periodontitis accompanied by impaired (hyper- and hypo-) reactivity of the body with bringing them to values of normoreactivity is considered to be a condition for optimizing mucosal wound healing after surgery and further stabilization of the periodontal tissues.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To carry out a comparative assessment of metal alloys for the manufacture of metal-ceramic constructions of dentures by determining the indicator of their histotoxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: To identify the effect of metal alloys on cobalt and nickel bases on the tissue of organism, we carried out an experimental-morphological study of standard samples of metal alloys "Shot-alloy", "Remanium-2000", "Cerium", "Dent-NCB", "Cellite-N". RESULTS: Results: A careful histological analysis of the capsules formed around the metal alloy samples during two periods of the experiment showed that the healing time of the subcutaneous tissue was not the same. The most complete healing, that is, the formation of mature fibrous connective tissue, occurred during the implantation of the cobaltbased alloy "Remanium-2000" and the capsule formed at the end of the experiment around the implanted sample from the "Shot-alloy" alloy, and during the implantation of the "Cerium" alloy, healing the wound surface and the formation of a connective tissue capsule occurs fully than in previous cases. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The analysis of the performed experiment testifies in favor of the point of view that the speed and quality of healing of damaged subcutaneous tissue upon the introduction of implanted research alloys depend largely on the individual chemical components that make up the alloys, or on their combination.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: Of our research work was to study the level of proinflammatory interleukin-18 (IL-18) in the oral fluid of children with type I diabetes mellitus (DM), and to determine their periodontal status and the level of oral hygiene. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: 82 children were examined, they were divided into groups by presence of gingivitis and diabetes mellitus. The level of interleukin-18 in oral fluid was determined by immunoassay. RESULTS: Results: In patients with chronic catarrhal gingivitis and type I diabetes mellitus the level of interleukin-18 in oral fluid is the highest (70.91±7.48 pg / ml); the level of interleukin-18 in children with diabetes mellitus and healthy gums is high enough too, it is 14.87±1.11 pg / ml. Interleukin-18 is 3.41±0.25 pg / ml in healthy children with healthy gums. It is 5.74±0.27 pg / ml in somatically healthy children with chronic catarrhal gingivitis. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: We indicated that an increase in the value of interleukin-18 in oral fluid is associated with the presence of diabetes mellitus in children. Moreover, this cytokine can be considered as a potential biomarker of gum inflammation in children with diabetes mellitus.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research is to study the influence of size and location of wedge-shaped defects of teeth on stress and strain state of restorative material on the basis of biomechanical analysis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Biomechanical analysis of the stress-strain state was performed on a jaw bone fragment with canine and premolar inclusion. RESULTS: Results: Tangential stress increase both in the adhesive layer and in restorative material with depth and width (medial-distal size) of restored wedge-shaped defects of teeth,.The most unfavorable loading on a tooth is a joint action of vertical and horizontal loading in lingual- vestibular or vestibular-lingual direction, depending on localization of the restored wedge-shaped defects of teeth. The formation of retention grooves in wedge-shaped defects of teeth reduces the value of the maximum tangential stress in the adhesive layer of restorative material to 25% and extends the longevity of restorations. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: The difference in maximal values of tangential stress increases in adhesive layer of restorative material with or without retention grooves with increasing depth of defect. Thus, it is advisable to form retention grooves in cases of wedge-shaped teeth defects that exceed 1.5 mm. In case of restoration of subgingival wedge-shaped defects of teeth of small height it is recommended to create one retention groove on the gingival or incisal planes of a carious cavity due to significant inconveniences, and sometimes impossibility of formation of traditionally located retention grooves.

OBJECTIVE: The aim: To study the odontoglific and odometometric parameters of molar crowns of the upper and lower jaws in males and females. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: To achieve the aim of the research was used odontoglyphic, odometometric and statistical methods of research. RESULTS: Results: We have found that male molars of the upper jaw are characterized by approximately the same ratio between the vestibular-palatal and mesial-distal diameters of the crown, so the teeth are square-formed. For female large angular teeth of the upper jaw the predominance of vestibular-palatal over mesial-distal diameters of the crown is characteristic, which results in an oval form of the teeth. On having analyzed the forms of the third lower molars, it can be affirmed that for this group of teeth various variational forms of crowns, from three- to five-tuber forms, are characteristic. Vestibular-lingual and mesio-distal sizes also vary according to the type of odontoglific pattern of occlusal crown surface. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: We consider it expedient to take into account the abovementioned characteristics of the masticatory surface of molars of the upper and lower jaws of male and female persons for the creation of qualitative orthopedic structures that would fully restore the masticatory function.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the wear resistance of such restorative materials as composite resin, feldspathic ceramic, leucite glass ceramic with intact enamel and to draw an analogy with some similar researches. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: In this research 20 extracted human teeth (maxillary incisors) without fillings and carious cavities were used as samples. All samples were disinfected and stored in saline in order to prevent dehydration. Teeth roots were cut off for the measure of fixation on an organic glass plate using chemically polymerizable resin. If necessary, the teeth were also cut on their lateral sides in order to give them equal size. The samples were placed in a frame-holder, located on the lever of the machine MI-2, which determines abrasion resistance under slipping. RESULTS: Results: The research has revealed that the average wear resistance of natural teeth was 122,67±4.9 J/mm3 (Tab 1). The archived result overcomes dental composite resin twice more (62.8±1.21 J/mm3), feldspathic ceramic 6.5 times more (16.32±1.2 J/mm3) and leucite ceramic over the half (73.79±3.12 J/mm3). CONCLUSION: Conclusion: Thus, according to this performed research and the analysis of the relative literature sources it can be stated that dental composite resin and leucite ceramics may be proposed as the materials of choice for anterior restoration of teeth. They have shown the good wear resistance and tolerance to antagonizing natural teeth.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of our study was to identify the main risk factors for the occurrence of early complications of acute myocardial infarction after cardio-interventional treatment and to evaluate prognostic risk indicators. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: Risk factors of myocardial infarction were determined by copying the case history data and calculating on their basis of the odds ratio and ±95% confidence interval. After it, we made a prediction of the risk of early complications of AMI with cardiovascular intervention by using a Cox regression that took into account the patient's transportation time by ambulance. RESULTS: Results: Thus, the factors that increase the chances of their occurrence were: summer time of year; recurrent myocardial infarction of another specified localization (I122.8); the relevance of the established STEMI diagnosis; diabetes mellitus; renal pathology; smoking; high rate of BMI. Factors that reduce the chances of their occurrence: men gender - in 35%; the age over of 70 - by 50%; the timely arrival of an emergency medical team - by 55%. The factors that increase the chances of their occurrence were: age over 70 years; subsequent myocardial infarction of unspecified site; diabetes mellitus. Using of a Cox regression analysis, it was proved that the cumulative risk of early complications of AMI with cardio-intervention treatment increased from the 10th minute of ambulance arrival at place, when ECG diagnosis (STEMI), presence of diabetes mellitus, smoking and high BMI. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: As a result of the conducted research, the risk factors for early complications of AIM with cardio-interventional treatment were identified.

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: Treatment of destructive forms of chronic periodontitis is extremely topical. Its relevance is associated with the features of treatment, which depends on the stage of the exacerbation process. The issue of the problem is also in the fact that the destructive seat of periodontitis is a source of chronic infection. The aim: The task of the research was to evaluate the conservative treatment of chronic destructive forms of periodontitis with a dental kit "Cupratin", developed for professional usage in dental practice. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: "Cupratin" is a complex medicament based on suspensions of calcium hydroxide, copper-calcium hydroxide and powder, which contains hydroxide aluminosilicate and calcium sulphate, radiopaque filler. It has bactericidal and osteoplastic effect. The treatment involved 44 patients (44 teeth) in the age group of 37 to 50 years suffering from chronic granulating periodontitis without concomitant diseases. Patients were divided into two groups: investigated and control. In the main group of patients, a suspension on the basis of copper-calcium was used for treatment (root canals were filled with "Cupratin" as a temporary filling material). Obturation of canals was preceded by chemical and mechanical treatment. The medical material was in direct contact with periodontal tissues for 20-55 days. Intraoral X-ray radiography was taken from the patients within the intervals of 3 and 6 months. RESULTS: Results and conclusions: Positive results were obtained, which were characterized by the disappearance of subjective symptoms, intensive bone tissue reconstruction in the site of destruction and a decrease in the size of the destruction respectively.

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: Abrasion of teeth significantly affects electromyography results. Analyzing electromyograms of patients who needs complex rehabilitation, it is necessary to note absence of dissociation of the structure, appearance of spontaneous activity in one of the muscles, presence of the prevailing chewing side, appearance of low-amplitude oscillations in biocurrents. The aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the role of anterior teeth in the rehabilitation of patients with increased abrasion. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Material and methods: The experimental group involved patients (men and women) aged 20 to 59 years with increased abrasion of teeth I-III degrees. Patients were provided with all the necessary complexes of rehabilitation measures: direct restorations with composite materials using the adhesive system of the Vth generation (in case of light abrasion), indirect ceramic restorations (severe abrasion). All work was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (1964) and was approved by the Ethical Committee of the academy. RESULTS: Results: Activity of the right masseter muscle was slightly higher than that of the left one (313.42 ± 97.96 ms. against 226.69 ± 35.39 ms. respectively). At the same time the resting time of the left and right masseter muscles slightly differs (300.57 ± 30.93 ms. and 307.96 ± 49.47 ms. respectively). CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Rehabilitation of patients with increased abrasion using combined methods (direct composite restorations with the adhesive system of Vth generation and indirect ceramic restorations), give the possibility to restore the masticatory function (evidenced by an increase in the activity of right and leftmasseter muscle on 2%, a decrease in the rest phase on 20% almost and an increase in amplitude on 2.9%).

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: Alcohol addiction is one of major public health concerns because rich assortment of alcohol drinks, alcohol advertising may hasten the initiation of alcohol drinking and increase consumption among children and adolescents nowadays. Cytotoxic effect of alcohol is among the leading causes of oral mucosa malignant degeneration, therefore alcohol drinkers are at risk of cancerous diseases. This should be taken into consideration by dentists during routing check-ups. The assessment of oral status in alcohol abusers is essential for making up a treatment plan and prophylaxis, and the investigation of oral manifestations in alcohol drinkers is of great clinical significance. The aim: To determine the peculiarities of oral status in underage drinkers. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: The study involved 135 inpatients aged 14-17, who took the course of treatment at the Narcological Department, Poltava Regional Clinical Psychiatric Hospital. We assessed the condition of periodontal tissues and oral mucosa. RESULTS: Results: There was a tendency towards an increase in precancerous diseases depending on the age of patients and the length of alcohol addiction. The prevalence rate of the diseases in the first group of patients who had being abused alcohol for 2 years was 10,91% of cases; and in the second group of patients who had being abused alcohol for 3 years it made up 16,80%. This may be explained by adverse effect of ethanol on the oral mucosa and by no regular dental check-ups. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: Based on the results obtained, it is appropriate to recommend mandatory oral check-ups for adolescents with alcohol abuse.

OBJECTIVE: Introduction: The term "pathological abrasion" (increased abrasion) can be described as a loss of tooth hard tissue on the occlusal, oral, vestibular surfaces of teeth or in the occlusal area. Treatment of increased abrasion of teeth is a difficult task for the practical work of a dentist. The choice of the optimal treatment plan provides the greatest likelihood of long-term success and minimal probability of complication appearance. The aim of our work was to study the functional activity of the masticatory muscles in the pathogenesis of the development of increased abrasion of tooth hard tissues. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and methods: In order to achieve the goal of the study, an examination of patients aged between 19 and 69 years old was carried out in order to identify the number of persons with increased abrasion of teeth. During the examination of all patients one control and one researched group were formed. The patients of the control group (30 patients aged from 18 to 60 years) which had intact dental rows with any signs of increased tooth wear. The investigated group consisted of 25 patients, aged from 18 to 60 years. Depending on the complex treatment, the patients of the second group were divided into two subgroups. Subgroup 2A - (10 patients) with increased abrasion of tooth hard tissues with planned complex treatment of the disease without additional use of mouthguards after the end of treatment. For the patients from the 2B subgroup (15 people with increased abrasion of tooth hard tissues) a mouthguard was prescribed after the end of the complex treatment. In order to study some peculiarities of the muscular activity of the maxillofacial region an electromyogram was taken from all participants before treatment and repeated in a six- and twelve-months term. RESULTS: Results and conclusions: In our opinion, all manifestations of increased tooth abrasion are associated with changes in the muscular system, the motor apparatus and the nervous activity of the body. Regarding to this, the study of the propria muscular system and the related bone system can justify the usage of one or another prevention or treatment of the pathology. Based on the results of our research, we can conclude that the study of the functional state of the muscle complex is a fairly reliable prognostic sign in the study of such a disease as an increased tooth abrasion.
