[System of therapy and prophylaxis of hard tooth tissues pathology in the group of pilots].

Survey of 77 males aged 22 to 55 including 43 pilots (main group), 24 non-flying employees (comparison group) and 10 essentially healthy men with sanitized oral cavity (control group) revealed caries in 100% members of groups 1 and 2. Prevalence of other than caries pathologies was higher in the group of pilots. Analysis of mixed unstimulated saliva showed calcium and phosphates reduction by half in 50% and 30% of pilots, respectively. Investigation of hair elemental composition displayed also deficiency of Ca and P in pilots. The authors recommend methods for dental rehabilitation as an indispensable part of medical care for flying personnel.

[Improving the efficiency of combined therapy of patients with leukoplakia of the buccal mucosa using Phytomix-40 combined plant preparation]. / Vozmozhnosti povysheniia éffektivnosti kompleksnogo lecheniia bol'nykh leikoplakiei slizistoi obolochki polosti rta pri ispol'zovanii kompleksnogo rastitel'nogo preparata Fitomiks-40.

Leukoplakia of oral mucosa: pathogenesis and possible correction with phytoadaptogen.

Leukoplakia of the oral mucosa is characterized by impairment of the epithelial differentiation program. The use of complex phytoadaptogen in the treatment of patients with leukoplakia normalized expression of Fas-APO-1 antigen and keratin 17; increased expression of CD54 attested to activation of immune effectors. The clinical effect manifested in involution or shrinkage and loosening of the pathological focus and complete epithelialization of erosive surfaces. The phytopreparation exhibited adaptogenic effects normalizing the immune and IFN status and improving the state of adaptation systems in the body.
