The management of consequences of long-term use of opioid medications for medical indications and uncontrolled use of psychotropic and highly potent medications without medical indications is still an important problem. The use of opioids under combat conditions is a particularly contentious issue. 

 Opioid analgesics due to their strong analgesic effect are widely used in modern medical practice [7]. It is important, that the duration of opioid analgesic use should be as short as possible to avoid mental and physical addiction, as well as the development of drug tolerance and the risk of overdose. [5,7]. According to the professional medical literature, long-term use of opioids leads to evidential changes in the organism [12], where the pathology of the oral cavity, paradental tissues occupy a leading place in individuals, who abuse with narcotic substances [3]. Dental status in drug addicted people is overloaded by numerous pathological conditions of the tissues of the tooth and mucous membranes of the oral cavity, what complicates the differential diagnosis and treatment [3,4,15]. In addition, despite the improvement in dental health indexes in many countries, the prevalence of paradentitis remains extremely high, there is no standard treatment regimen today [2,14]. Taking into account the fact that the problem of drug addiction is constantly growing, in dentistry, data on the condition of the oral cavity organs, the structural components of the paradentium under the influence of opioid agents, both in clinical and morphological aspects, are extremely necessary. [13]. In this regard, the introduction of etiopathogenetic treatment of paradental diseases of various origins, including drug addiction is an urgent problem of today [3,4,6,8-10]. Paying attention that the issues of pathomorphogenesis and adequate treatment of dystrophic and inflammatory processes that develop in the paradentium under the action of opioid agents are still relevant, there is originated a necessity to develop in experiment an optimal scheme of pathogenetic complex treatment in such conditions.The aim of the research is to study the features of microscopic reorganization of paradental tissues under six weeks of exposure to the opioid analgesic nalbuphine, its four-week withdrawal and medicinal correction using pentoxifylline and ceftriaxone in the experiment.

The results of the study show that with a two-week opioid exposure, the most prognostically favorable indicators were in the group where complete withdrawal was carried out with subsequent correction with the drug pentoxifylline. It can also be concluded that during the correction of opioid retinopathy, it cannot be carried out with drugs of the  antibradykinin group (pentoxifylline) without complete withdrawal of the opioid because  this contributes to a sharp increase in pathomorphological manifestations in the layers of the retina and is a prognostically unfavorable moment.
