Signs of oral cavity microcirculatory disorders in adolescents who smoke

Abstract

Smoking is one of the most common harmful habits that can lead to the development of pathological processes in various organs and systems. At the same time, smoking in childhood and adolescence especially contributes to the deterioration of the general somatic condition, increases the risk and determines the severity of the course of respiratory diseases, which in the future has an impact on the development and functioning of the respiratory system, becomes the cause of dependent conditions and complicates the course of accompanying pathology. It is believed that disruption of the microcirculatory channel can be one of the key links in the development of pathological processes in the oral cavity. Therefore, improving the quality of diagnosis of lesions of the microcirculatory bed of periodontal tissues in the early stages of the inflammatory process became the goal of our work.
