METHOD FOR HYPERTENSION AND DIABETES MELLITUS DETECTION AT DENTAL RECEPTION Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61B5/00 A61B5/107 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: patient's mouth cavity is examined to detect any carious cavities, fillings, extracted teeth and to estimate parodentium tissues condition. Then the indices characterizing condition of organs and tissues of the mouth cavity are determined; the ranging of four clinical indices ("РМА", "ИГР-У", "КПУ", "ИЗЗК") is done giving ranks from 1 to 3 depending on the index value. Then numbered estimation is carried out as total score of the ranks in four indices. The total score value less than 8 means low risk of patient's having diabetes mellitus (DM) or hypertension (H). The total score value equal to 9-10 indicates substantial risk of having DM or H. The total score value equal to 11-12 shows higher probability of having H or DM. To determine the diagnostic indices, five groups of people of different age are examined, the 1^st group includes patients having H, the 2^nd group consists of patients having DM, the 3d group - patients with pyelonephritis, the 4^th group - patients having dental deposit in the mouth cavity, the 5^th group - "control group" - people with the same physical status "almost healthy" without any diseases of parodentium and tunica mucosa of mouth.

EFFECT: development of informative and accurate method to detect hypertension and diabetes mellitus at dental reception.
