CLINICAL SUBSTANTIATION FOR A NEW METHOD FOR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF PROSTHETIC STOMATITIS WITH EDENTULOUS JAWS

Purpose: development of a simple, affordable, easy-to-use method of prevention and treatment of prosthetic stomatitis in the complete absence of teeth and prosthetic defects acrylic dentures.

Methods. In clinical testing method we have 36 people with complete maxillary defects with metal prostheses in the mandible. In most cases, patients have acrylic dentures. Patients were divided into two groups: the first group there were produced traditional dentures, with no prevention for the above-mentioned method, the second group comprised patients who were produced a modified prosthesis with prophylactic use of Amaranth Oil for 1 month. We conducted two studies. The first concerned the definition of quality prosthetic method for determining the frequency of corrections and research strength of fixation of prostheses, which were determined through a survey of the patient subjectively and objectively determined and manipulative way of three stages: very good, good, poor.

Results. The corrections analysis of prostheses in the first group has shown that at the traditional technology 62.5% of patients needed the third and more corrections. Complete adaptation to the prosthesis without complaints of painful sensations when a correction was observed only in 25.0% of the first group of patients.

Conclusions. Due to the original denture with complete prosthesis with using polystyrene grid, with its help the sysem of microchannels for the drugs application, such as Amaranth oil, makes it possible to achieve painless effective treatment of prosthetic stomatitis, provides comfort of use of removable dentures and economic feasibility.
