Results of Ultrasound Examination in Patients With Fractures of the Alveolar Process of the Jaws

Abstrak

The article presents the results of ultrasound examination in patients with fractures of the alveolar process of the jaws using various immobilization methods. During the immobilization period, along with the main treatment, attention should be paid to implementing a set of measures that improve bone metabolism indicators in patients with fractures of the alveolar process of the jaws. The aim of the study is to assess the influence of various immobilization methods on the state of bone tissue of the alveolar process of the jaws (PAOJ) using ultrasound osteometry. Materials and methods: 65 patients with PAOJ were examined, divided into three groups according to the immobilization method: traditional smooth splints, splints with the use of additional agents (mouthwash and calcium-D3), as well as splints fixed with composite. Ultrasound examination was conducted in three stages: before immobilization, on the 14th day, and after removing the fixing structures. Results: It was established that the velocity of ultrasound waves increased after treatment in groups with alternative immobilization methods, indicating better density and reparative regeneration of bone tissue compared to the traditional method. Conclusion: Using gentle methods of immobilization allows for a reduction in inflammatory complications, preservation of periodontal health, and improvement of conditions for bone fragment consolidation during the treatment of PAOJ. Conclusion: Using gentle immobilization methods allows for a reduction in inflammatory complications, preservation of periodontal health, and improvement of bone fragment consolidation conditions during PAOJ treatment. It was established that the passage rate of ultrasound waves increased after treatment in groups with alternative immobilization methods, indicating better density and reparative regeneration of bone tissue compared to the traditional method. Conclusion. Using merciful methods of immobilization allows for a reduction in inflammatory complications, preservation of periodontal health, and improvement of bone fragment consolidation conditions during PAOJ.
