ORAL CAVITY HOMEOSTATIC SYSTEMS DISORDERS RATE IN PERSONS WHO NEED DENTAL PROSTHETICS

During 5 years 765 patients who need removable dental prosthetics were examined. There were studied indices of oral cavity homeostasis disorders, which could have a bad influence on removable denture.

The following indices of the oral cavity have been studied: functional activity of salivary glands, degree of dysbacteriosis, contamination with the fungous flora, allergic manifestations, condition of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant defense, proteolytic activity, state of unspecific reactivity and specific reactivity.

The researches showed that a majority of persons who need removable denture have homeostasis systems disorders of different degree, which are able to affect the quality of prosthetics.
