1. Introduction

The development of purulent-inflammatory diseases (PID) of the maxillofacial region (MAF) is accompanied by a change in a number of clinical parameters characterizing the state of homeostasis of the body, both systemic and local [1]. Diagnosis and treatment of GVH of the MFA, including odontogenic osteomyelitis of various forms, is still extremely relevant due to the large number of complications that do not tend to decrease [2].
Given the high frequency of acute odontogenic periodontal diseases, they are an important medical problem in the clinical practice of surgical dentistry. In the general structure of stomatological diseases, the frequency of the processes of gingivitis is 55-65%. YuJSin the composition of acute CKD, it reached 69.5%, and currently, an increasing trend is observed among the population [8].
Increase in the number and severity of patients with acute odontogenic infection is related to the change in the microflora caused by odontogenic infection, the decrease in the effectiveness of antibiotics, and the imperfection of conservative treatment methods for complex forms of caries. He explained that the reasons for this situation are that the population is not sufficiently aware of the consequences of caries, its prevention is still unsatisfactory, and doctors do not properly evaluate the role of focal odontogenic infection in the formation of somatic pathology. [3].
The main causative agent of osteomyelitis in adults is Staphylococcus aureus, which is identified in 30% to 75% of cases. Streptococcus agalacticae, Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Kingella kingae prevailed in late osteomyelitis in children. Staphylococcus aureus produces adhesive proteins, which contribute to the adhesion of the pathogen to the macroorganism matrix, which is a necessary condition for the further development of the infectious process.Enterobacteriaceae representatives of the family (Escherichia, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Genera Citrobacter, Proteus, Providencia, Serratia) also caused osteomyelitis formation in 23%. They were followed by Pseudomonas spp (9%) and Streptococcus spp (9%) [8].
The reasons for the increase in the number of patients suffering from acute odontogenic infection (O'OI) and the increase in the severity of its course are, firstly, the change of the microflora that causes purulent-inflammatory diseases of odontogenic origin; secondly, a decrease in the therapeutic effectiveness of broad-spectrum antibiotics; thirdly, the growth of the group of elderly and elderly patients with various "background" diseases; fourthly, it is related to the imperfection of conservative treatment methods of complex forms of caries. The authors explain the reasons for this situation with three cases: insufficient awareness of the population about the consequences of untreated caries; unsatisfactory development of caries prevention methods, insufficient assessment of the role of focal odontogenic infection by doctors in the formation and development of somatic pathology [9].
These factors according to classification different suggestions cause come out bro. Current at the time of the authors according to his opinion, YuJS fire diseases according to classification b three main scientific to look there is Of a school representatives all odontogenic fire diseases of the process of osteomyelitis that he will die count a di, they are sharp periodontitis of osteomyelitis start drinking stage, that counted, they are sharp periostitis yeah _ of osteomyelitis limited shape as interpretation they did Other school representatives independent nosological forms as periodontitis and osteomyelitis distinguish between gan and periostitis odontogenic of osteomyelitis abortive to the shape they said it is relevant. Third point of view look supporters died most scientists group periodontitis, periostitis, osteomyelitis, phlegmons,abscesses and the lymphatic system damage independent nosological to forms separated [5-6].
Azimov M.I. and all. According to [2019], this classification includes diseases that require urgent surgical intervention. In the classification, pulpitis, which is the starting point of the development of all other acute odontogenic inflammatory diseases, is not taken into account. The inflamed pulp, especially its chronic forms, is a source of sensitization of all tissues of the body and the nervous system. Untreated pulp sooner or later covers the periodontium in the process of tooth decay. Acute serous periodontium, then purulent periodontitis develops after the infection enters through the hole in the apex. The treatment is completed by ensuring the replacement of dead periodontium with scar tissue, which performs a support function. But if the treatment is delayed or not completed, the process continues to develop, the pus accumulated in the periodontal crack leads to the destruction of the compact alveolar plate with the spread of infection to the bone (the focus of inflammation moves to the bone).
The purpose of the study clinical and immuno-microbiological studies, determining the prognosis of the disease.

2. Research Material and Methods

Based on the above, this scientific research work was planned and conducted on this basis. It consisted of preparation, implementation and final stages.
At the preparatory stage, the topic, goals and objectives of the research work were determined, the object and subject of the research were determined. During the study, chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis was studied, and acute odontogenic osteomyelitis was taken as a comparative group. Later, the material-technical, methodological and theoretical base of the scientific work was prepared. The place of research was the maxillofacial surgery department of the Bukhara regional multidisciplinary medical center, all bacteriological studies were conducted in the bacteriological laboratory of this center, as well as in the educational and scientific bacteriological laboratory of the Department of Microbiology, Virology and Immunology of the Bukhara State Medical Institute. Bacteriological and bacterioscopic, as well as immunological methods required by the doctoral student were conducted at the preparatory stage. For this purpose, research was continued when all nutrient media and reagents, as well as test systems and reagents for studying local immunity were ready.
At the stage of research, the dental status, microbiological and immunological aspects of patients with acute and chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis were studied. From this, pathogens were identified to the generation and type, humoral immune factors in patients' saliva were determined, the results of all clinical, microbiological and immunological studies were recorded in special cards and journals. Research was stopped when all material was sufficient for statistical processing, interpretation and analysis, reliable results, and valid conclusions. There were no obstacles during the research.

3. Research Results

This research, clinical material was collected from the maxillofacial surgery department of the multidisciplinary medical center of Bukhara region. Bacteriological studies were carried out in the bacteriological laboratory of the center and the educational scientific bacteriological laboratory of the department of microbiology, virology and immunology of the Bukhara State Medical Institute, and immunological studies were also carried out on the basis of this laboratory. All inspections were carried out on the basis of relevant contracts.
A total of 117 adult patients diagnosed with acute and chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis were involved in the research. 76 of them were men (64.96±4.41%) and 41 were women (35.04±4.41%).
The gender distribution by group is presented in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Results of gender distribution of patients with confirmed chronic (A) and acute (B) odontogenic osteomyelitis, %
It can be seen that 69.0±4.62% (n=69) of those with chronic symptoms were men, and 31.0±4.62% (n=31) were women. The opposite was observed in acute osteomyelitis - men 41.18±11.94% (n=7), women 58.82±11.94% (n=10), respectively. In chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis, a significant difference was observed between men and women (R<0.05), but this difference was not detected in the acute form, which was explained by the small number of observation units.
The distribution of patients according to their place of residence showed that the majority of them were rural residents - 96 (82.05±3.55%) were rural and 21 (17.95±3.55%) were urban (R<0.05). In chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis, this indicator was 79.0±4.07% (n=79) and 21.0±4.07% (n=21), respectively. In acute odontogenic osteomyelitis, all patients were rural residents - 17 (100%).
The obtained results showed that 16 of the 17 studied patients (92.12±6.53%) had a "positive bacteriological result", and 1 (7.88±6.53%) had a "negative microbiological result", so all microbiological tests were calculated for 16 patients. As a result of bacteriological examinations, 33 strains were isolated from these patients, which means 2.06 strains per patient. 16 strains of these microorganisms (48.48±8.70%) were gram-positive cocci, 9 (18.18±6.7%) were gram-negative bacteria, 6 strains belonged to noclostridial anaerobes (18.8±6.71), among the causative agents of Candida spp in 2 cases ( 6.06 ± 4.15%) was recovered (Figure 2).
Figure 2. Indicators of the microbial landscape of acute odontogenic osteomyelitis diagnosed in patients, %
As shown in Figure 1, gram-positive cocci prevailed among the etiological agents, this superiority was 1.78 times (R<0.001) over gram-negative bacteria, 2.67 (R<0.001) over non-clostridial anaerobes, and 8.0 times (R<0.001) over Candida spp.. The obtained results showed that it should be taken into consideration when prescribing antibacterial drugs for patients.
If we consider the inter-generic and inter-species microbial landscape (Table 1), all 33 recovered strains were distributed as follows:
Table 1. Cross-species microbial landscape of microorganisms grown in acute odontogenic osteomyelitis
     
Staphylocoscus aureus was the leader among all studied strains - 30.30±8.0% (n=10);
Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.12±6.71%, n=6) and Escherichia coli (9.09±5.0%, n=3) were the most common among gram-negative bacteria.
Among the causative agents, non-clustridiol anaerobes were identified in large numbers (18.18±6.71, n=6). Among the etiological agents of the disease, fungi belonging to the genus Candida (Candida spp) were found in small quantities (6.06±4.15, n=2). The remaining microorganism strains (4) were found in the amount of 3.03±2.98%.
Thus, determining the microbial landscape of patients with acute odontogenic osteomyelitis showed that positive bacteriological results were observed in 16 studied patients, among the causative agents gram-positive cocci were 1.78 times more frequent than gram-negative bacteria, 2.67 times more than non-clostridial anaerobes, and 8.0 times more than Candida spp. When observed by species, the leadership belonged to Staphylococcus aureus (30.30%) and anaerobes (18.18%). It is noteworthy that cariogenic microorganisms and representatives of the normal microflora of the oral cavity were not found among the causative agents. It is noteworthy that Pseudomonas aeruginosa (12.12%) and Escherichia coli ra (9.09%) are leading among Gram-negative bacteria. High germination of gram-positive cocci compared to gram-negative bacteria, high incidence of non-clustridiol anaerobes should be taken into account when determining treatment and prevention measures.
Today, when collecting microorganisms as causative agents, it is important to determine whether they meet in the form of a monoculture or an association of microorganisms (m/a), because it depends on determining the sensitivity to antibacterial drugs and determining different treatment methods.
Based on the above, the level of occurrence of pathogens in the form of monoculture and m/a was determined and presented in Table 2.
Table 2. Results of the distribution of acute odontogenic osteomyelitis according to presentation
     
As can be seen from the given table 2, monoculture as the causative agents of this pathology was found significantly more than m/a - respectively 57.58±8.60% (n=19) against 42.42±8.60% (n=14) - R>0.05. Although the obtained results are not convincing, the difference of 15.16% shows the true result. Due to the small number of observation units (16 patients, 33 strains), the arithmetic mean error is large, so there seems to be no convincing result between the numbers.
Looking at groups of microorganisms, the predominance of gram-positive cocci as a causative agent was shown in the previous chapter, and a comparison of monocular type and m/a showed a convincing difference (Fig. 3).
Figure 3. Indicators of distribution of monoculture and association of microorganisms among causative agents of acute odontogenic osteomyelitis, %
As shown in Figure 3, gram-positive cocci and non-clostridial anaerobes had a convincing superiority of monoculture over m/a (R<0.001), while the opposite was observed for gram-negative bacteria and Candida spp (R<0.005). Such an imbalance between monoculture and m/a was associated with the biological properties of pathogens and the pathogenicity of pathogens, which was also important in the sensitivity of microorganisms to antibacterial drugs. The distribution of Grammusbat cocci in these forms was also unique.
Among the gram-negative cocci, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus spp. in the form of a monoculture appear to be reliable compared to m/a (R<0.001). Among coagulase-negative staphylococci (Staphylococcus epidormidis and Staphylococsus saprophyticus), pathogens were not found as a monoculture.

4. Conclusions

In the last 10 years (2012-2021), odontogenic osteomyelitis occurred in 2.09-3.61% of cases among other UJS-related cases, the average length of stay in the hospital was 7.7 days, and the performed operations made up 4.22-4.31% of all operative interventions. was determined. It is noteworthy that chronic osteomyelitis was found in 85.47% of cases, acute form in 14.53% of cases, chronic pathology was more common in the lower jaw (62.38%), less in the upper jaw (7.69%), bilateral odontogenic osteomyelitis was found in 15.39% of cases. Symptoms identified in 98.0-100% of cases were confirmed by clinical examinations in 52.94-100.0% of cases.
In acute odontogenic osteomyelitis, gram-positive cocci are 1.78 times more common than gram-negative bacteria, 2.67 times more than non-clostridial anaerobes, 8.0 times more than Candida spp, and 1.77 times less common than gram-negative bacteria in chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis. In the chronic form, the microbial spectrum expanded, and representatives of the normal microflora of the oral cavity appeared as the causative agent. This condition has been proven to be important in early diagnosis of diseases, determining the perspective of the end of the course and determining secondary preventive measures in chronic odontogenic osteomyelitis.
