Dental rehabilitation of total adentia at pensioners of the Ministry of defense and contingent attached to military medical organizations

Legal, economic and clinical aspects of treatment of military personnel, retired military personnel, as well as the attached contingent in the conditions of hospitals of the Ministry of defense are presented. The study is based on the results of studying the number of dental implants installed in patients from 2014 to 2019 based on the medical records and outpatient records of a dental patient in two specialized departments of multidisciplinary hospitals of the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation. Primary medical records were studied, data on the sex and age of patients, the presence (absence) of opportunistic diseases used implant system, the installation of dental implants and their amount and frequency of soft tissue and osteoplastic operations (to increase the volume of the bone and soft tissues of the alveolar bone (part) jaws) and the Protocol of the temporary and permanent prosthesis. Based on the analysis, we describe the current possibilities of medical and diagnostic work and present various types of orthopedic structures on dental implants for the dental rehabilitation of the above-mentioned contingents with complete adentia of the jaws (including in cases where absolute indications require the removal of all teeth due to foci of chronic odontogenic infection or periodontitis). The methods of treatment of patients in cases of combination of adentia with varying degrees of atrophy of the alveolar processes (parts) of the jaws are analyzed in detail. Clinical examples of dental rehabilitation are shown both with and without the use of methods for increasing the volume of jaw bone tissue, using various modern protocols for fixing orthopedic structures on zygomatic and root dental implants, and the frequency of their use in military medical organizations of the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation during the reporting period. Based on the presented results, it is shown that the military medical organizations of the Ministry of defense of the Russian Federation have a full range of opportunities to provide comprehensive dental care to patients with complete secondary adentia, even in the presence of extreme bone atrophy of the jaws.
