PREVENTION OF COMPLICATIONS IN AMBULATORY SURGICAL ORAL CAVITY OPERATIONS

Aim. To determine the dynamics of pain sensitivity in patients undergoing ambulatory surgical interventions. Materials and methods. Eighty six patients (53 women and 33 men, aged 18 to 45 years), who required ambulatory surgical care, underwent complex dental examination. Prevalence indices and dental caries intensity indices, oral cavity and parodentium hygienic status were studied. To assess painful sensations, 86 patients were surveyed by means of questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 6 sections assessing 23 characteristics of pain. Results. The conducted studies detected a high level of prevalence and intensity of the main dental diseases among patients, who asked for ambulatory surgical care. The perioperative application of complex program including medical preventive measures for patients with difficult eruption of the third lower molar and radicular cyst results in fast arresting of soft tissue inflammation in the region of surgery and essential analgetic effect. Conclusions. Introduction of complex preventive program indicates a positive dynamics of dental status indices that will subsequently lead to fall in general sickness rate among patients.
