ОЦЕНКА КАЧЕСТВЕННЫХ, КОЛИЧЕСТВЕННЫХ И ОРГАНОЛЕПТИЧЕСКИХ ПАРАМЕТРОВ НОВОЙ ЗУБНОЙ ПАСТЫ С РЕМИНЕРАЛИЗУЮЩИМ КОМПОНЕНТОМ

Abstract

Subject. The subject of this study is “DentaSwiss Enamel Repair & Protect” treatment-and-prophylactic toothpaste.
 Objective. The purpose of this study is to evaluate organoleptic properties of the new “DentaSwiss Enamel Repair & Protect” treatment-and-prophylactic toothpaste, and its effects on the functional activity of minor salivary glands and oral mucosa.
 Methodology. The study was carried out by the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry and Propedeutics of Dental Disease together with the Department of General Chemistry, Ural State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. The study involved 65 volunteer patients recruited from the dental students (24 young male adults, 41 young adult women; the average age of patients was 21.25 ± 1.65 years old). The assessment of mixed saliva was performed for the following parameters: the qualitative analysis of such characteristics of saliva secretions such as color, transparency, presence of inclusions, the hydrogen-ion concentration, the functional activity of minor salivary glands, microcrystallization of mixed saliva.
 Conclusions. The research results showed that the use of “DentaSwiss Enamel Repair & Protect” toothpaste reliably changes the pH-value, the functional activity of minor salivary glands and microcrystallization of mixed saliva which consequently enhances remineralizing effects of mixed saliva and the ability of the tooth enamel to restore. On all parameters, organoleptic properties of “DentaSwiss Enamel Repair & Protect” toothpaste were highly ranked by the study participants scoring the average of 9.95 ± 0.05.
