Clinical study of a method for the receptor apparatus of the teeth protection at the stages of treatment with non-removable prosthesis designs
Abstract
This article presents the results of clinical approbation of our proposed method for protecting the receptor apparatus of the teeth through a complex of domestic light-curing adhesive preparations and antihomotoxic drug “Traumeel”, the application of which was substantiated by experimental studies in laboratory animals. The purpose of the study was to confirm clinically the experimentally obtained results to protect the receptor apparatus of the teeth by using the antihomotoxic drug combined with the domestic light-curing adhesive. Materials and methods. The method was tested in 72 patients, of whom 57 were the main group and 15 were controls. They were divided into 3 subgroups by age. A total of 200 teeth were prepared for one-piece cast fixed implant-supported prostheses. Electro-odontometry (EO) was performed and masticatory force (MF) was measured by the proposed method (patent number 99095142 dated September 16, 1999) before the preparation, when an anesthetic was worn off and one month after preparation. Results. The positive results of our method were clinically confirmed by the EO data analysis and the MF values measured by proposed by us method on the day of the study, the next day, in a month after the intact teeth were coated with the proposed complex of preparations. When assessing the data obtained, it was found that there were no significant changes in the EO indices as well as MF indicators on the day of the examination, the next day, in a month after the examination in the study group compared with the control. Conclusions. Analyzing the results obtained, it can be noted that our method has a significant advantage in protecting the stumps during teeth preparation at the stages of treatment with non-removable prosthesis design and contributes to preventing complications of the hard dental tissue preparation.
