METHODS OF TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATORY CHANGES IN THE AREA OF PERIAPICAL TISSUES (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

Calcium-containing preparations occupy an important place in modern dentistry due to their unique properties, allowing for successful treatment of both pulp tissues and periapical tissues. The basis of the action of these preparations is the formation of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂), which exhibits reparative and antibacterial properties. However, if accidentally released into the surrounding vital structures, it can cause serious harm, lead to thrombosis if it enters the blood vessels, damage the connective tissue and cause skin necrosis. Modern calcium-containing preparations contain additional components, such as silicon hydroxide, strontium ions, phosphates, which enhance their biocompatibility and clinical effectiveness. Also, drugs with prolonged action are being developed, which simplifies their use in dental practice. The article presents modern literature data describing the main mechanisms of action of drugs for temporary obturation of root canals and the most common methods of non-surgical treatment of periapical changes.
