[Long-term results of dental implantation in military personnel]. / Otdalennye rezul'taty dental'noi implantatsii u voennosluzhashchikh.

BACKGROUND: Currently, the use of the dental implantation method for the medical service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is quite new. The method of dental implantation makes it possible to eliminate defects in the dentition of military personnel and other contingents eligible for medical care in military medical institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to substantiate the medical effectiveness of the use of dental implantation in military healthcare. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted on the basis of the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and Surgical Dentistry of the Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov. The study is based on the analysis of long-term results of dental implantation according to medical histories and outpatient records. The study was conducted in 3 stages: stage 1 - study of the medical histories of patients who underwent dental implantation; stage 2 - examination of patients with dental implants and analysis of long-term results; stage 3 - a patient questionnaire was conducted to determine the effectiveness of dental implantation. RESULTS: The structure of complications during dental implantation was revealed. Clinical examples of long-term results of prosthetics using dental implants are presented. It has been established that due to the peculiarity of military service and the remoteness of the locations of military units from the military medical organization, it is not always possible to conduct regular medical examinations and examinations of patients. To identify early symptoms of peri-implantitis, which is more often asymptomatic, preventive examinations of military personnel should be carried out 1-2 times a year. CONCLUSION: To increase the service life of an orthopedic structure with installed dental implants, regular preventive examinations of patients to identify pathological processes are important. In favor of implantation, there is a choice for some categories of military personnel. This is especially important for flight and naval personnel, since dentures installed on dental implants are the only way to preserve their professional suitability in the military accounting specialty. The presence of teeth and the absence of removable dentures is an important requirement when performing combat missions.

Development prospects of curable osteoplastic materials in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.

The article presents classification of the thermosetting materials for bone augmentation. The physical, mechanical, biological, and clinical properties of such materials are reviewed. There are two main types of curable osteoplastic materials: bone cements and hydrogels. Compared to hydrogels, bone cements have high strength features, but their biological properties are not ideal and must be improved. Hydrogels are biocompatible and closely mimic the extracellular matrix. They can be used as cytocompatible scaffolds for tissue engineering, as can protein- and nucleic acid-activated structures. Hydrogels may be impregnated with osteoinductors such as proteins and genetic vectors without conformational changes. However, the mechanical properties of hydrogels limit their use for load-bearing bone defects. Thus, improving the strength properties of hydrogels is one of the possible strategies to achieve the basis for an ideal osteoplastic material.

[Regulatory framework of the new system of wage payment in research institutions]. / Osnovy novoi sistemy oplaty truda v nauchno-issledovatel'skikh institutakh.

This system has given executives and economists significant freedom when determining the size of payments to the employee per hour worked, including stimulating and compensation payments, bonuses and other regular pension benefits. However, given situation has also resulted in the need for studies intended on the formulation of the criteria's for medical workers of different specialties actions evaluation and the quality of medical services that they have provided, as well as on the efficiency of the health care organizations in general.

Morphological and Molecular-Biological Features of Inflammatory and Regeneratory Processes in Peridont Tissues with Periimplantitis and Periodontitis.

A morphological and immunohistochemical study of periodontal tissues was performed in patients with chronic generalized periodontitis who underwent dental implantation. We studied 44 biopsy specimens from 21 patients (13 women and 8 men) aged 35-60 years with a diagnosis of periimplantation mucositis (7 patients), periimplantitis (8 patients), and severe chronic generalized periodontitis (6 patients). It was established that periimplantitis differs from periimplantation mucositis by a more pronounced inflammatory reaction with a clear predominance of plasma cells in the infiltrate, which captures the fibrous capsule around the implant, destroys it and further spreads to the bone tissue. Based on the immunohistochemical differences in SMA, VEGF, and Ki-67, it is concluded that periimplantation mucositis and periimplantitis are successive stages of progression of the same process. When comparing chronic generalized periodontitis and periimplantitis, the latter shows much more pronounced inflammatory and destructive processes in the area of the implant, due to the addition of immune inflammation, impaired regeneration processes, and destruction of bone tissue.

[Risk-based approach to the organization of dental implantological care based on judicial practice]. / Vozmozhnosti ispol'zovaniia risk-orientirovannogo podkhoda v organizatsii stomatologicheskoi implantologicheskoi pomoshchi s uchetom dannykh sudebnoi praktiki.

The article proposes methods of modeling the activities of medical organizations to improve the quality of dental care using dental implants based on risk-based approach. The method allows optimizing the system of internal quality control and safety of medical activities and to form a risk management plan. The main types of risks in the work of dentists-surgeons and orthopedic dentists were systematized and generalized by means of the analysis of judicial practice in dentistry for 2013-2017. The results may be used in the development of preventive measures and building a system of quality control for dental care using dental implants.

Immunohistochemical and Morphological Study of Periodontal Tissues in Predicting the Results of Dental Implantation in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis.

Morphological and immunohistochemical examination was made on 24 gum biopsies obtained from 35- to 60-year-old patients with diagnosis of partial secondary adentia, chronic generalized moderate to severe periodontitis (19 patients), as well as on the biopsy samples from five patients without pathological periodontal changes who underwent dental implantation. Serial paraffin sections were treated with antibodies against Ki-67, VEGF, and SMA. In patients with severe chronic periodontitis, a high proliferative activity of epithelium indicative of hyperplastic changes was observed, as well as a reduced number of the SMA-positive cells and actual absence of the SMA-positive cell couplings associated with the "growth zones" in tissues, which testifies indirectly to a lower tissue regenerative capacity. Hence, before dental implantation, additional anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative treatment is required.
