INDEX ASSESSMENT OF ORAL HYGIENE IN PROSTHETICS REMOVABLE PROSTHESES BASED ON IMPLANTS

АВЭ1 KAt I The index assessment of oral hygiene in the dynamics was studied in patients w ith removable dentures with support on implants. All patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 consisted of 15 patients using a toothbrush and toothpaste to maintain personal hygiene; 2nd group consisted of 15 patients using the complex "toothbrush + intradental brush + irrigator" and toothpaste to maintain individual hygiene. The determination of the hygiene quality of the implant area and gums was held by using the supraconstruction hygiene index (SGI) and the gingival index (Gl). The mean values of all indices in 2nd group of patients were significantly lower than in subgroup A and almost did not differ from the mean values of the control group.
