The work discusses the etiology of inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues among students. Periodontitis is one of the most common polyetiological diseases. Its multifactorial nature, complicates the determination of etiotropic treatment methods, which is one of the actual problems of modern dentistry.
Among numerous local and general causes, inadequate oral hygiene is considered to be the leading etiological factor. In recent years, the factor of tobacco consumption has also become relevant.
Based on the above, the goal of this issue is to investigate the causes of inflammatory periodontal diseases in students and suggest effective preventive measures. In order to study the overall condition of the periodontal tissue complex and investigate nicotine addiction, a research questionnaire was developed. The questionnaire results confirmed that both poor oral hygiene and nicotine use contribute to the development of periodontal diseases.
Clinical studies were conducted in a university clinic. There were examined 31 students. Hygienic and bleeding indices were determined. Professional hygiene was performed, was given advices abut improving hygiene and restricting tobacco use. Repeated studies have shown improvements in hygiene and bleeding indices, that were more effective in non-smokers than in smokers.
Studies have proven that:
- The unhygienic state of the oral cavity is the leading risk factor for inflammatory periodontal disease;
- Tobacco use is one of the risk factors in the development of inflammatory periodontal diseases;
- A significant number of students do not have information, about personal and professional hygiene issues.
