The mineral density of the bone tissue in the periimplant zone after endoosseous implantation of porous titanium nick-elide was measured by X-ray fluorescence assay with synchrotron radiation. Ca/P coefficient, the value of which makes it possible to diagnose and predict regional osteoporosis as well as consistence and long-term results of implantation, was used for the first time. The results of the study can be applied to clinical practice to determine the order of control evaluation of patients and to administer pathogenetically substantiated medication.

In rats with experimental fluorosis, radioactive indication found a decrease in glycosaminoglycan synthesis in calcif- icated dental and bone tissues, as well as in the liver, kidneys, and salivary glands. Experimental therapy with car- boxyline or a complex of preparations (carboxyline, biotrit C, vitamins D and K, glutamic acid, and iodine) eliminated the clinical manifestations of dental fluorosis, and normalized glycosaminoglycan synthesis in calcificated soft tissues.

The authors studied the condition of the salivary glands and local immunity in 50 patients with chronic active hepatitis in a state of alcohol intoxication. The results of a complex examination demonstrated a significant decrease in the secretory activity of the greater and smaller salivary glands, an increase in salivary viscosity, and the presence of sialodenosis (38%). A high proportion of lesions in the oral mucosa (54%), including stomatitis, leukoplakia, candi- dosis, and geographic tongue, was found. These changes were detected together with significant disturbances in local oral cavity immunity.

The authors developed a special device (atent #53141 for useful model) to receive objective data and reveal relationship between palatal vault configuration and the angle of inclination of the front teeth's palatal facets. The method offered by the authors can be used to measure the angle of inclination of the front part of the palatal vault and the angles of inclination of the palatal surfaces of the front teeth on plaster models of jaws for the production of dental prostheses.

The aim of the investigation was to study the effectiveness of combined use of non-direct electrochemical blood oxidation with sodium hypochlorite solution, rexode, and reamberin for the correction of blood plasma antioxidative activity during the treatment of patients with maxillofacial phlegmons. The study showed that the inclusion of these preparations in the basic therapy has a prominent normalizing effect on blood plasma anti-oxidative activity compared to the use of each of the preparation alone.
