ABSTRACT
The structure of the gingival mucosa was studied by optic microscopy in patients with acute purulent odontogenic maxillary periostitis treated traditionally and receiving lymphotropic therapy. Lymphotropic administration of the antibiotic during 2 days resulted in less pronounced dilatation of the interstitial spaces and lymph vessels adjacent to the molars and higher counts of lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages. This indicated high efficiency of lymphotropic therapy of acute purulent maxillary periostitis for molars. Microcirculation parameters and tissue leukocyte cytogram in gingival mucosal tissue adjacent to the canines and premolars differed negligibly in patients treated by different methods.

Capillaries and tissue leukocyte cytograms in soft gingival tissues were examined by optic microscopy in patients with acute purulent periostitis of the jaws treated by different methods. Disorders in the lymph outflow from gingival tissues were detected, which were due to dilatation of the lymph vessels and interstitial spaces in the mucosal lamina propria and stasis with leukocyte aggregation and purulent clots in the lumina of many lymph vessels. Less pronounced dilatation of interstitial spaces and lymph vessels, higher counts of lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages in the tissues of the gingival mucosa lamina propria, observed 2 days after the beginning of adsorption therapy of the subperiosteal abscess cavity, indicate that this therapy is more effective in acute purulent periostitis than traditional treatment.
