TREATMENT OF CHRONIC DESTRUCTIVE PERIODONTITIS USING THE OSTEOPLASTIC MATERIAL "BIOACTIVE GLASS"

Abstract

Periapical periodontal diseases remain one of the most serious and pressing challenges in modern dentistry, significantly impacting the oral health of the population. Apical periodontitis (AP) accounts for a substantial proportion of dental morbidity, ranging, according to various authors, from 20% to 56% of the total number of patient visits in outpatient dental practice. It is particularly concerning that destructive forms of apical periodontitis are a frequent cause of tooth extraction, which adversely affects the patient's general health, disrupts the integrity of the dentomaxillary system, and diminishes the quality of life.
