NOSOLOGICAL STRUCTURE OF PERIODONTAL TISSUE DISEASES IN PERSONS WITH CONCOMITANT CHRONIC TONSILLITIS

Abstract

The article presents the results of clinical studies in young people with periodontal disease on the background of concomitant chronic tonsillitis. A comparative analysis of the structure and clinical symptoms of periodontal disease in persons with chronic tonsillitis and without concomitant pathology. The aim of the study is to study the nosological forms, prevalence, features of the clinical course of periodontal tissue diseases on the background of concomitant chronic tonsillitis. The investigation involved 100 subjects aged 18-44 years, of which formed two study groups. I main group – 63 subjects with periodontal disease and concomitant chronic tonsillitis (CT); Comparison group II – 37 patients with periodontal disease. The compensated (43.97%) and subcompensated forms (40.52%) of chronic tonsillitis prevailed in patients aged 18-44 years. A comparative analysis of the structure and clinical symptoms of periodontal disease in patients with chronic tonsillitis and without concomitant pathology. According to WHO criteria, the prevalence of periodontal disease was high and amounted to 79.31±3.76% in this age group, p> 0.05. It was found that the prevalence of inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues (gingivitis, localized periodontitis) was 12.76±2.06% of those examined in persons of group I, which was 1.4 times less than in persons of group II – 17.90±2.18 %, p <0.05. Significantly more often in patients of group II the initial forms of chronic generalized periodontitis (CGP) were objectified than in persons of group I (51.58±4.44% vs. 37.59±3.93%, respectively, p <0.05). We also conducted a comparative analysis of clinical symptoms of CGP in individuals of groups I and II of the study. In this cohort of patients there was a more pronounced activation of inflammatory-dystrophic processes in the periodontium and more pronounced clinical symptoms, which is confirmed by the high frequency of chronic generalized periodontitis, which is also likely due to the accumulating effect of pathogenetic factors of chronic tonsillitis
