Development of the Composition of Combined Medicinal Pencils for the Treatment of Dental Diseases

Abstract

Introduction. Prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases remains one of the urgent problems of modern medicine. According to WHO, the prevalence of dental diseases among adults is 90–95 %, among adolescents – 80–83 %. The health of the body as a whole largely depends on the state of the oral cavity. It is important for the effective treatment of diseases to have a properly selected dosage form, which provides both convenience of use and purposeful use of the action of the pharmacologically active drug contained in it. Medicinal pencils as a dosage form are very limited on the pharmaceutical market, so their development is relevant. As a local anesthetic component, anilocaine is included in the composition of pencils at a concentration of 5 %, antimicrobial action is provided by the introduction of metronidazole in a concentration of 1 % in order to prevent the occurrence of infection.Aim. Substantiation of the composition and technology of the medicinal pencil for the treatment and prevention of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.Materials and methods. For the study, we used medicinal pencils with an active pharmaceutical substance – anilocaine (FS 42-2846-97, LLC "Perm Chemical Company", Perm, shelf life of 5 years), metronidazole (FS 42-0257-07, JSC "Medisorb", Perm, shelf life of 3 years); basic components – PEO-400 (FS 42-1242-96, LLC "Neftegazkhimkomplekt", Moscow, shelf life of 3 years), PEO-1500 (FS 42-1885-96, LLC "Neftegazkhimkomplekt", Moscow, shelf life of 3 years), PEO-4000 (FS 42-3337-96, LLC "Neftegazkhimkomplekt", Moscow, shelf life 3 years), second ingredient – purified water (FS.2.2.0020.18), the UVOI-"MF" 1812S6 obtained at the reverse osmosis plant (JSC "NPK Median-Filter", Russia). In the course of the research, technological, structural-mechanical and biopharmaceutical methods were used.Results and discussion. Based on technological, structural-mechanical and biopharmaceutical studies, the composition of medicinal pencils with anesthetic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects for the treatment and prevention of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity is proposed and justified for the first time. Biopharmaceutical availability of medicinal pencils is determined by the conductometric method.Conclusion. The conducted complex of studies will expand the range of domestic medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.
