Clinical Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Thermoplastic Materials Used in the Dental Prosthetics of Hiv-Infected Patients

Abstract

The article presents data on the study of the state of tissues and organs of the oral cavity of HIV-infected patients (n=47), the main group (M/G), for the period from 2020 to 2023, which were divided into groups: - 23 patients using partial removable prostheses experimental group (Ex/G-1) and - 24 patients with complete removable prostheses (Ex/G-2), as well as 20 patients with moderate severity of periodontal diseases, without HIV infection, as a control group (C/G). In the M/G of patients, reduced periodontal endurance was revealed, while generalized lesion, irregular destruction of bone tissue and the supporting and retaining apparatus of the tooth were noted on the R-me. Coating the contact surface of plate dentures with an adhesive system helps to seal the existing pores and provides pronounced smoothness of the microrelief, as well as improves the adhesive properties of dentures.
