ABSTRACT
Aim – improving the effectiveness of complex treatment of patients with maxillomandibular anomalies and disorders of the architectonics of the vestibule of the mouth. We conducted clinical, X-ray methods and cytomorphometric, rheographic examination of the oral mucosa of 30 patients 15-17-years old with acquired maxillomandibular anomalies and disorders of the architectonics of the vestibule of the mouth (buccal frenum) and 15 relatively healthy children – norm group. The patients of I group had surgical correction of buccal frenum, where the surgical wound was healing by secondary tension. The patients of II group had proposed surgical correction of buccal frenum, where the surgical wound was healing by primary tension Patients were prescribed chlorhexidine-denta and a preparation based on hyaluronic acid (Gengigel, Italy) in the postoperative period. Statistical processing of the results was performed using a personal computer using the software package Statistica 12.0. Data distribution was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test of normality. Mean values and standard errors were calculated for continuous variables. Correlation between parameters was analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient and tested for significance. Significance was set at p<0.05. Clinical studies have shown that all patients have anomalies of buccal frenum fixationin the area of the canines and premolars. The results of cytomorphometric and rheographic studies indicated a deficiency of blood supply in these areas. The results of clinical and laboratory examination showed the advantage of the proposed treatment plan. Long-term results indicate the formation of a normorthophic scar, the absence of recurrences and recessions of the gums in the area of projections of the buccal frenum, the normalization of clinical and laboratory parameters. The obtained data in ІІ group significantly differ from those in І group (p <0.05). Surgical correction of disorders of the architectonics of the vestibule of the mouth is an important and necessary stage of complex treatment of patients with maxillomandibular anomalies and disorders of the architectonics of the vestibule of the mouth. We can achieve the desired therapeutic effect in the treatment of such patients and prevent relapses only by eliminating the etiological factor. The use of preparations based on hyaluronic acid in the postoperative period stimulates reparative processes in the operated area and contributes to the formation of a normotrophic scar. Plastic of buccal frenulum is a prevention of abnormal position of premolars and gum recession in the area of canines and premolars. It is important for preventive dentistry.
