Abstract

This paper presents the results of treatment and prevention of chronic catarrhal gingivitis by including in a set of individual hygienic measures of vegetable-based oral rinse which determines its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Also the oral rinse providing anti-caries effect can be recommended for daily prevention of periodontal disease and caries. The examination involved 40 patients aged 18–28 years old with a diagnosis of chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis who were divided into two groups. The comparison group (20 persons) received treatment according to the generally accepted standard scheme, the main group (20 patients) received standard therapy and an oral rinse. The analysis of the obtained results indicated clinical efficiency of the use of oral rinse in a set of individual hygienic measures, exerting a positive influence on shortening of inflammation in the periodontium. Daily use of oral use based on vegetable components and fluoride inhibits growth of pathogenic microflora of dental plaque and creates conditions for lasting remission of catarrhal gingivitis.
