title: [INVESTIGATION OF THE LEVEL OF MINERAL DENSITY OF SKELETAL OSSEOUS TISSUE IN PATIENTS WITH PERIODONTAL TISSUE DISEASES].
abstract: Results of investigation of mineral density condition of skeletal osseous tissue in patients with inflammatory and dystrophic-inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues with ultrasound densitometry method have been presented. Various changes of osseous tissue of skeletal bones have been detected: osteopenia, osteoporosis and osteosclerosis, which correlated with the severity of pathological process in periodontium. Analysis of the obtained results has been carried out depending on patients' sex as well as form and severity degree of the course of periodontal diseases. It has been established that the peak of detected impairments of mineral density in the skeleton is due to osteopenia, the degree of severity of which deteriorates with the severity of pathological process in periodontal tissues, especially in women.
