[A clinico-pharmacological study of olifen in periodontal inflammation]

Clinical study of the efficacy of oliphen treatment in generalized periodontitis in comparison with galascorbin treatment was conducted. Oliphen arrested the inflammatory process in the periodontium quickly and effectively and shortened the duration of treatment by half. Under its effect lipid peroxidation became less intense, the level of malonic dealdehyde decreased, and the activity of catalase in the oral fluid of patients with periodontitis increased. The favorable effect of oliphen in periodontitis is connected with its antioxidant and antihypoxant properties.
