Abstract:
The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of parodontax complex anti-inflammatory toothpaste with fluorine for treatment of moderate catarrhal gingivitis.
Material And Methods:
Within 6 weeks a group of students was observed, which was divided into 2 subgroups depending on the activity of the carious process and with characteristic changes in crystalloscopy of the oral fluid. Clinical trials of parodontax anti-inflammatory toothpaste with fluorine were conducted. The properties declared by the manufacturer were evaluated using clinical, biochemical, laboratory studies, and criteria-based assessment of crystalloscopic features of the oral fluid.
Results:
The study revealed a statistically significant correlation of the cleaning ability of the hygiene product and crystalloscopic properties of saliva and changes in the clinical picture of chronic catarrhal gingivitis. With the inclusion of a comprehensive anti-inflammatory toothpaste containing fluorine and natural herbal extracts, a shift in the acid-base balance of the oral fluid to the alkaline side was recorded.
Conclusion:
The improvement in the oral hygiene indices and the resolution of inflammatory processes in periodontal tissues prove the efficacy of comprehensive treatment of chronic gingivitis including parodontax toothpaste.
