Areas of application. Dentistry
In dentistry, the method of local freezing has the certain and valuable enough advantages as compared with routine surgical interventions. Sclerosing therapy and electrocoagulation also are inferior to cryotherapy.
Cryosurgery in dentistry is bloodless and sparing method of treatment, it is tolerable for even elderly patients and for those with severe pathology of intestinal organs and systems.
Stomatologic purposes need special cryodevices with temperature not less than -150°С, where complicated topographic and anatomic relationships of all complexes of periodontal tissues and tunica mucosa of mouth are considered in construction of cryoinstrument working part, and cryoagent supply should be calculated for the long time of application.

Main periodontal diseases that can be treated by cryosurgery are parodontosis, hypertrophic gingivitis, papillitis, epulis, and pericoronitis. Practically, there are no contraindications to cryotherapy. It is expedient to use cryosurgery at the diseases bound to disturbance of a coagulating property of a blood, nephroses, an endocrine pathology, the general{common} neurosis with cardiovascular responses, a climacterium.
On tunica mucosa of mouth, such diseases, as a leukoplakia, red flat herpes, chronic recurrent aphthous stomatitis, декубитальные and trophic ulcers, papillomas, fibromas, hemangiomas, retention cysts, cheilitis glandularis, long-term persisting labial fissures, Manganotti cheilitis and some other benign and malignant neoplasms are quite often.
As experience shows, cryotherapy in many diseases of tunica mucosa of mouth, both in elderly and in young age is not only method of choice, but expedient necessity in comparison with surgical treatment or electrocoagulation.
Cryosurgery allows destroying tumoral or any other pathological tissue in strictly defined limits, thus depth of tissue destruction can be controlled precisely enough. The focus of cryodestruction is always clearly delimited from intact tissues. Cryosurgery excludes mechanical trauma of tissues (abruption, dissection) thereof tumor cells dissemination is excluded. The possibility of complications is negligible. Side effects are not observed.
