[Diagnostic value of optical coherence tomography for oral leukoplakia assessment]. / Diagnosticheskaia tsennost' metoda kogerentnoi tomografii u bol'nykh s leikoplakiei slizistoi obolochki rta.

The article presents a comparative analysis of the results of in vivo scanning of oral mucosa leukoplakia with optical coherence tomography (OCT) method and pathological studies in 15 patients (9 females and 6 males aged 27-82). The study revealed specific OCT signs of leukoplakia: even disorder of tissue layering and less clear visualization of lamina propria. OCT is an important stage in the differential diagnosis of leukoplakia of the oral mucosa and significantly complements the clinical and pathomorphological study.

[Leukoplakia: clinical and pathological diagnosis]. / Leikoplakiya: klinicheskii i patomorfologicheskii diagnoz.

Leukoplakia is one of the most common obligate precancerous lesions of the oral mucosa. leukoplakia treatment is carried out in conjunction with surgery. Removed tissues are sent to pathological examination. The article describes clinical signs and corresponding pathological processes most often revealed by histological study.

[Analysis of comprehensive treatment of oral leukoplakia by laser ablation]. / Analiz khirurgicheskogo lecheniya patsientov s leikoplakiei slizistoi obolochki rta metodom ablyatsii.

The article presents data statistics of surgical treatment of leukoplakia by laser ablation for 2014 were examined and operated on 12 patients with verrucous and erosive forms of leukoplakia of the oral mucosa using a diode laser. Only 5 (42%) showed positive results in 7 (58%) patients had recurrent disease, often in the localization of the lesion on the tongue. It is possible that relapse may be associated with incomplete excision of the lesion due to anatomical and morphological features of the oral mucosa in various topographical areas. The study emphasizes the need to find alternative methods of modern surgical excision, one of which can be radiofrequency excision.

[Modern wound dressings in oral surgery]. / Sovremennye ranevye pokrytiia v khirurgicheskoi stomatologii.

In this review the modern wound dressings used in surgical dentistry and maxillofacial surgery are studied. We describe the tupes of wound dressings and their properties. The results of clinical use in various surgical procedures in the oral cavity are presented.

[Surgical treatment of patients with oral leukoplakia]. / Khirurgicheskoe lechenie patsientov s leikoplakiei slizistoi obolochki rta.

The aim of the study was to elaborate lingual nerve sparing procedure of submandibular gland duct stones extraction. The study involved 43 patients with syalolithiasis treated in Oral Surgery Unit of Central Research Institute of Dentistry and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2013-2015. It was shown that to prevent lingual nerve and artery injury submandibular salivary gland duct should be dissected to the level of obstruction thus allowing adequate visualization of anatomical correlations especially when removing stones from the distal part of the duct.
