Microcirculation in Periodontitis

Vibroacoustic Effect on Microcirculation in Periodontitis

The researchers of National Medical Stomatological University, Moscow experimented VAT with 30 patients. All patients were divided into three groups: Group 1 – 10 patients with slight periodontitis; Group 2 – 10 patients with medium periodontitis; Group 3 – control group subdivided into two smaller groups of 5 people each with slight and medium stages of periodontitis. The purpose of our research was to develop the methods of treatment procedures and control by additional methods of examining therapeutic effect of vibroacoustic exposure. The course of treatment consisted of 10 procedures carried out daily or every second day. The patients after a course of treatment and the control group patients after a standard treatment of periodontitis underwent repeated thermometry and Laser Doppler Fluometry. After a course of treatment the temperature in all gum areas increased 1-1.5°C in Group 1 and 2 patients. The temperature changes in Group 3 did not have any practical significance. Clinical mucous tunic of the gum became pink-pale and firm. The depth of dentogingival pockets decreased. The patients have noted reduced gum bleeding or its absence.

Conclusion: Results show the effectiveness of vibroacoustic therapy
