Состояние слизистой оболочки полости рта у пациентов после протезирования с дефектами верхней челюсти вследствие заболевания COVID-19

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the condition of the oral mucosa in patients with upper jaw defects who underwent prosthetics after COVID-19 disease. The main attention is paid to the changes that occur in the tissues of the oral cavity against the background of a viral infection, as well as the peculiarities of the adaptation of the mucous membrane to prosthetic structures. The study evaluates parameters such as inflammatory changes, the level of hyperemia, the presence of atrophy sites and regenerative processes after the installation of removable prostheses. Special attention is paid to the role of the systemic inflammatory response characteristic of COVID-19 in slowing down the healing processes and increasing the risk of complications during prosthetics. It has been revealed that patients who have undergone COVID-19 are more likely to face problems related to increased tissue sensitivity, their traumatization and reduced resistance to mechanical stress. The results of the study substantiate the importance of preliminary sanitation of the oral cavity.
