Study of the effect of using a hard toothbrush with a high abrasive toothpaste according to profilometry data

Compliance with oral hygiene is an important aspect of the prevention of dental diseases. But an uncontrolled choice, the use of improperly selected home hygiene products can lead to a number of complications, for example hyperesthesia of dentin. An important aspect of the choice of home hygiene products is their effect on the hard tissues of the tooth.Aim. To study in the experiment the effect of a hard toothbrush with a high level of abrasiveness of a toothpaste on the change in the enamel surface according to profilometry data.Materials and methods. Using the device for cleaning teeth, a study was carried out on the roughness of the surface if the enamel of the sample. In research were used the first 3 molars removed for periodontal indications, of which 3 samples of 1×1 cm were prepared. The measurements were carried out using a Senso neox profilometer (Sensofar) with a 3D magnification of 150 at the following time intervals: initial condition of the tooth, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year.Conclusion. When using a hard toothbrush together in combination with a highly abrasive paste, the optimal combination time is not more than 6 months.

The use of the rinse aid based on a complex of natural citrus bioflavonoids for gingivitis. Clinical study

According to the Federal State Program of Primary Prevention of dental Diseases among the population of Russia in 2011 in the age group of 35–44 years, conducted by STAR, the prevalence of periodontal diseases is high – more than 80%. The high prevalence is due to the low level of oral hygiene. In addition to the standard protocol for the treatment of periodontal diseases, dentists prescribe antibacterial mouthwashes for home use. The combination of chlorhexidine 0.05% + CITROX can act as an alternative to pure chlorhexidine. This combination contributes to less plaque formation, reduces bleeding gums and has an anti-inflammatory effect. It was also noted that this rinse aid has a more pleasant taste and less pronounced side effects.

INDICATORS OF ORAL FLUID AND THEIR CORRECTION BY MEANS OF HYGIENE IN ELDERLY PEOPLE WITH GENERAL SOMATIC DISEASES

Приведены результаты исследования ротовой жидкости у лиц старшего возраста с соматической патологией, наблюдение за которыми проводили на протяжении 1 мес. Оценивали кислотно-осно' вное состояние ротовой жидкости, определяли вязкость ротовой жидкости. По результатам исследования ротовой жидкости и ее коррекции средствами гигиены у лиц старшего возраста с соматическими заболеваниями отмечали динамику показателей кислотно-осно'вного состояния ротовой жидкости, его сдвиг в щелочную сторону и положительную динамику состояния вязкости ротовой жидкости. Для обеспечения снижения риска неблагоприятных воздействий при изменении состояния ротовой жидкости необходим совместный подход с участием всех медицинских работников, учитывающий детерминанты здоровья и обеспечивающий разработку эффективных методов профилактики стоматологических заболеваний у лиц старшего возраста. The results of the study of oral fluid in older persons with somatic pathology, which was followed for 1 month, are presented. The acid-base state of the oral fluid was evaluated, and the viscosity of the oral fluid was determined. According to the results of the study of oral fluid and its correction by means of hygiene in older persons with somatic diseases, the dynamics of the indicators of the acid-base state of the oral fluid, its shift to the alkaline side and the positive dynamics of the effect of the viscosity of the oral fluid were noted. To ensure that the risk of adverse effects from changes in the state of the oral fluid is reduced, a joint approach involving all health professionals is needed, taking into account the determinants of health and ensuring the development of effective methods for the prevention of dental diseases in older persons.
