[Periodontal tissues status after treatment of chronic periodontitis with consideration of gender and age].

Radiovisiographic study of periodontal tissues changes in different periods after the therapy of destructive chronic periodontitis have disclosed that jaw alveolar process bone density and the size of the destruction focus after 6 months, 1 and 2 years after the treatment were not significantly changed (134 patients sample of different gender and age). When this sample was subdivided into groups depending upon gender and age some significant changes of some parameters were found. The most expressed were the changes of the size of the periodontal destruction focus in the patients of 40-49 years of age, less pronounced they were in patients of 18-29 age group; in the age group 30-39 years changes were not found, In men of 18-29 age group regenerative processes in periodontal tissues were more expressed than in women. In patients of female sex of the age group 30-39 years were found more expressed changes. In older age group in patients of both genders the changes were approximately equal. The bone density around periodontium after treatment in men of the age group 18-29 years was restored more intensive than in 40-49-year-old patients. In females age dependent changes in the studied tissues status were not found.
