Abstract

The invention relates to medicine, in particular to dentistry, and can be used to diagnose dental diseases. The aim of the invention is to improve the accuracy of the method. The goal is achieved by applying a positive electric current of positive polarity with a force of 19.5–20.5 µA for 2/3 s, followed by measuring the electrical conductivity between the affected tooth and the acupuncture point associated with this tooth. To reduce the degree of conductivity by 2.5-3.7% (0.25-C.37 Mf-), the presence of hard teeth hyperstesia is judged, by 3.8-23.99% (0.38-2.399 μA) - about the presence of periodontal disease, by 24.0-45.69% (2.4-4.56 micron - about the presence of chronic periodontitis, by 45.7-49.93% (4.57-4.99 μA) - about the presence of alveolith.

Description

The invention relates to the field of medicine, in particular to dentistry, and can be used to diagnose diseases of the teeth,

The aim of the invention is to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of dental diseases.

The goal is achieved by determining and evaluating the electrical conductivity between a patient, an infected tooth and a specific acupuncture point (TA) associated with this tooth or periodontal area, point or group of points, by influencing and using a direct biological connection between teeth, periodontal areas and specific TA

The method is carried out as follows.

The Elite-4 device, designed to search for acupuncture points and subject them to electric current (different charge — or — in a constant or pulsed mode with a different period), found on the side corresponding to the affected tooth, a specific acupuncture point or a group of specific TAs. located on the side of the body corresponding to the affected tooth, for example, 4 and the points J -che and C-guan.

The TA, located on the right side from the midline of the body, controls the midline of the body, controls single-named teeth on both sides of the jaws, nominal teeth on both sides of the jaws. ITA, used in pathology, paronotrophage TA, is located on the left side,

The condition of the device operation is the generation of direct current with a (+) sign. The passive electrode Elite-4 was connected with a dental probe, covered with an insulation, except for the sharp working part, short-circuited with the search probe of the same apparatus.

A current of 20 t 0.25 μA of positive polarity was established on the device, since at a current of a smaller value a very small interpretation of the obtained results will remain. With a large current, the scale may become excessively large; in addition, the use of a large current produces gross changes in the TA.

The studied tooth is isolated from the mucous membrane of the cheek and tongue, without drying the teeth themselves. A TA was placed on the TA with a search probe, and the passive was placed on the cutting or chewing surface of the tooth, after which a current was passed.

At the time of the closure of the system (circuit), the tooth - specific TA passed a direct current with a (+) sign, the maximum, of a certain size, which was fixed by the microammeter of the Elite-4 device.

This procedure was performed from all (one or three) TA associated with the affected tooth.

Normally, by passing a constant electric current of +20 μA through an intact (healthy) tooth and its corresponding TA, a current of +10 μA –100% passes, and in patients a decrease in electrical conductivity is observed,

In this case, the electrical conductivity in TA, associated with affected teeth, depending on the concentration of (+) charged ions in the lesion, corresponding to a decrease in electrical conductivity from 2.5 to 3.79% (0.25-6.37) µA, is diagnosed as sign of hyperesthesia of hard tooth tissues; a decrease in electrical conductivity from 3.8 to 23.99% (0.38-2.399) µA is diagnosed as periodontal disease; a decrease in electrical conductivity from 2.4 to 45.69% (2.4-4.56) μA is diagnosed as chronic periodontitis and a decrease in electrical conductivity from 45.50% to 49.93% (4.57-4.99) μA alveolitis.

Example 1. Ill L.R. 34 years old, 23.02, complained of constant aching pain, sometimes pain when biting.

Objectively: on the distal surface there is a deeply carious cavity communicating with the cavity of the tooth. Sounding is painless, the percussion is weakly positive. After expansion of the carious cavity and the release of access to the canal on the turunda, the purulent content of the canal was obtained.

On Ro-graphy, bone tissue is discharged with nerve edges. Diagnosis: Chronic periodontitis (4.

Conducted research by the proposed method.

The specialized apparatus of Elite-4 on the side of the affected tooth was used to find acupuncture points Ji-che and C-guan-an, associated with specific biospecia channels with the affected 4 tooth.

At the acupuncture point, Ji-che was placed on 5 s of the search probe, and the passive was attached tightly to the intact surface jj} of the tooth. At the moment, a 4-tooth – specific acupuncture point passed through the system with a positive polarity, the magnitude of which was recorded by the Elite 4 device’s microammeter.

In the same sequence, a study was made of the electrical conductivity between the affected J.4 tooth and the point C -guan and in this case it was equal to (+3) µA, which corresponds to chronic periodontitis.
