Abstract

Introduction. Nowadays, the prevention of dental diseases is very important in dentistry. The main measure aimed at prevention of dental diseases is an individual oral hygiene. Its effectiveness depends on the quality and regularity, as well as the proper selection of means of individual oral hygiene.The objective is to study the effectiveness of using the certain toothpastes with different active ingredients.Material and methods. Toothpastes «А» and «B» were used to study the effectiveness of using the certain toothpastes with different active ingredients. Probantes at the age of 50 to 70 years, with the presence of dental deposits and periodontal disease of moderate and severe degrees of severity took part in the study of the effectiveness of using these toothpastes. They were divided into two groups of 26 people in each group. The study evaluated the following indices: the hygiene index of Green – Vermillion (1964), gingival PMA index (Parma, 1960), the bleeding index of Muhleman and Son (1971). Results. The experiment discovered the decrease of the values of the digital indicators of the hygiene index of Green – Vermillion, gingival PMA index, and the bleeding index of Muhleman and Son in all groups during the whole period. These changes of the values of the indices were accompanied with the simultaneously increase in the values of a cleansing effect, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic efficiency.Conclusions. Toothpastes «А» and «В» are treatment-and-prophylactic toothpastes, acting effectively on the tissues and organs of the oral cavity with prolonged use.
