Abstract
Periodontitis remains one of the serious public health problems due to its high prevalence, which subsequently leads to tooth loss, negative impact on aesthetics and chewing function, and can be a source of social inequality and deterioration in the quality of life of patients, the severity of which increases with age. Pathology of the periodontium requires timely diagnosis and comprehensive treatment. Today, the development of new methods of treatment of periodontal diseases and improvement of traditional treatment schemes is a rather urgent issue. In this article, the methods of treatment of periodontitis with the use of modern drugs, aimed at improving traditional methods of treatment, are considered. Drugs with antiseptic, bactericidal, fungicidal and antiviral effects are actively used in the treatment of periodontal diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of low-intensity laser therapy in combination with miramistin-based nanomatrices in the treatment of periodontal diseases. The results of the study showed that the combined use of the drug containing miramistin with low-intensity laser therapy in the complex therapy of patients with chronic generalized periodontitis significantly improves the condition of periodontal tissues, which is confirmed by the indicators of clinical indices and a decrease in the number of periodontopathogenic microorganisms
