Comparative evaluation of the effectiveness of oral care products in inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity, accompanied by teeth hyperesthesia

Treatment of inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity is an important task of modern dentistry. Gingivitis and periodontitis are the stages of a single inflammatory process in the oral cavity and occupy a leading place in the structure of dental morbidity. Treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis includes the use of various antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs.
However, without complying with the rules of good oral hygiene, it is impossible to achieve positive dynamics of the periodontal state. Therefore, oral hygienic education and control are mandatory in the complex therapy of periodontal diseases.
The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of oral care products with antiinflammatory effect on periodontal diseases, complicated with hyperesthesia.
The study involved 80 people aged 55-65 years with mild and moderate chronic periodontitis, which were divided into 4 groups (20 people in each) depending on the toothpastes used (No 1 “Sensitive Ultra” Splat, No 2 “Biorepair Gum Protection”, No 3 “Curaprox Enzycal Zero”), the control group patients brushed their teeth without toothpaste. In dynamics, hygienic indices, bleeding indices, papillary marginal attachment , periodontal index and sensitivity indices were evaluated.
As a result of the use of toothpastes and evaluation of their effectiveness, an improvement in hygienic and periodontal indices was detected in all study groups after two weeks of use. In the control group, improvement was observed, but these changes were less pronounced.
Investigated toothpastes lead to a decrease in inflammation in periodontal tissues. In addition, it is noted that toothpastes No 1 and No 2 based on hydroxyapatite contribute to the reduction of hard tissue hyperesthesia, which in turn makes it possible to perform better oral hygiene.
The use of paste No 1 showed a more significant improvement in clinical signs in control with pastes “Biorepair Gum Protection” and “Curaprox Enzycal zero” (p≥0.05). Thus, it can be stated that all studied pastes can be recommended in the treatment of inflammatory periodontal diseases for at least 14 days. But in cases of hyperesthesia, it is necessary to add pastes on the basis of hydroxyapatite to the arsenal of oral care products.
