RESULTS OF TREATMENT OF PATIENTS WITH PERIAPICAL LESIONS USING HIGH-INTENSITY LASERS AND A DENTAL MICROSCOPE

The frequency and prevalence of periodontal lesions, problems of etiology, diagnosis of pathogenesis and various treatment methods indicate the importance of this problem in modern dentistry [1, 3, 6, 10]. According to the authors, chronic periodontitis ranks third among dental diseases: in the age group of 34-47 years, the proportion of this form of complicated caries reaches 50%. In 40% of cases, this condition is caused by a carious lesion, and in 60% it occurs as a complication of endodontic treatment, that is, due to the penetration of organic residues beyond the apical opening of the root and the subsequent development of periodontitis [4, 6-8].
