Summary. Odontogenic inflammatory processes occupy a significant share among diseases of the maxillofacial area, as well as among all inflammatory processes of the body. For the local treatment of odontogenic abscesses and phlegmon, the author used hydrogels saturated with silver ions and an antioxidant drug.
The aim of the study – to measure and analyze local temperature dynamics when using hydrogels saturated with silver ions and an antioxidant drug for the local treatment of odontogenic abscesses and phlegmon.
Materials and Methods. An examination of 50 patients with odontogenic abscesses and phlegmons of the maxillofacial area was carried out. To study the dynamics of the inflammatory process, local thermometry was performed. before the start of treatment and for 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 days.
Results and Discussion. The greatest increase in local temperature in the area of the inflammation occurred on the first day after the surgical intervention and was approximately the same in both clinical groups. Significantly higher temperature indicators in comparison with the normal indicator were noted on the third day after surgery, but with statistically lower indicators in patients who were treated with hydrogel films saturated with silver and antioxidants in the postoperative period. On the 5th and 7th days, the indicators of local thermometry began to differ significantly in patients with the traditional method of treatment from the indicators of patients in the main group. On the 10th day, the temperature values approach the normal values and do not differ statistically.
Conclusions. Analyzing the obtained results, it can be concluded that the use of hydrogels saturated with silver ions and an antioxidant drug has statistically proven, on the example of local temperature measurement, a positive effect on the healing of odontogenic inflammatory processes.
