ABSTRACT

The aim of the research was to determine the effectiveness of the use of cloud technologies during the professional training of medical students. Methods. The research employed the methods of comparative analysis, survey, expert evaluation, observation, and statistical analysis. Results. The conducted research determined that the students of the experimental group had a higher level of cognitive, motivational and volitional, organizational and activity components of professional competence. It can be stated that the ability to use digital technologies for professional and personal needs is important in the era of digitalization. Students of the experimental group showed significant results after using cloud technologies such as: Pbwiki, Google Docs, Sway, Microsoft Planner, Microsoft Azure. The teachers changed their attitude towards the use of cloud technologies during classes, although most of the teachers had doubts about the proposed tools at the beginning of the study. The novelty and implementation. The academic novelty of the study was the fact that few studies have been conducted on the use of cloud technologies during the educational training of future doctors. The implementation of virtual reality in the practical classes of future doctors can be a promising direction of research.

 The level of awareness and practice of hygiene of the average person with periodontal and periodontal tissue diseases remains low and needs to be strengthened by receiving constant information, monitoring and some training from the dentist. The aim of the research is to assess awareness and practice of oral hygiene in patients with gum and periodontal diseases.

Methods: 140 people were divided into two groups: I - control group (CG), relatively healthy individuals (n=40), II - patients with gum and periodontal diseases (n=100), who were interviewed, determined the Simplified Oral Health Index (OHI-S) and periodontal index at the first visit to the dentist and 6 months later.

Results: Correct responses too ralhy giene questions differed significantly between groups, with the highest meanin group I and the lowest in group II. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in termsof frequency of brushing, duration, care products, or brushing techniques. Ingroup I, the OHI-S index corresponded to a satisfactory state of hygiene (1.53 ± 0.08) compared to the control group (0.17 ± 0.01) (Table 4), while the period on talindex corresponded to the presence of gingivitis (0.81 ± 0.03) compared to the control group (0.21 ± 0.09).

Conclusions: The importance of careful attention to oral hygiene, the use of various means to reduce inflammation and bleeding gums, and the reduction of dental plaque are important parameters in the prevention of gum and periodontal diseases.

Prospects: Further study of awareness and oral hygiene practice with therapy in patients who have gum and periodontal diseases is required.

Abstract: A combination of systemic antibiotics with scaling may provide an additional advantage over scaling alone in the periodontitis treatment in terms of clinical loss of attachment and change in pocket depth. The use of antibiotics should be justified by a determined need and should not replace adequate local treatment. Different treatment protocols have been proposed, but their indications and efficacy remain controversial. The study aims to analyse the literature on the use of antimicrobial agents for non-surgical periodontal therapy and to compare different protocols for prescribing antimicrobial agents. A search in MEDLINE and EBSCOhost electronic databases was conducted using relevant MeSH words. Targeted studies had to be published within the last five years. Studies were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data from selected studies were extracted and analysed. Ten randomized clinical trials were included in the review. The general conclusions of this review indicate a positive effect of antibiotics as an adjunct to non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis, regardless of antimicrobial drugs used in the reviewed studies. A prospect for further research is a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of the use of antimicrobial agents and probiotics as an adjunct to the non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis.
