ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of parodontax complex anti-inflammatory toothpaste with fluorine for treatment of moderate catarrhal gingivitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Within 6 weeks a group of students was observed, which was divided into 2 subgroups depending on the activity of the carious process and with characteristic changes in crystalloscopy of the oral fluid. Clinical trials of parodontax anti-inflammatory toothpaste with fluorine were conducted. The properties declared by the manufacturer were evaluated using clinical, biochemical, laboratory studies, and criteria-based assessment of crystalloscopic features of the oral fluid. RESULTS: The study revealed a statistically significant correlation of the cleaning ability of the hygiene product and crystalloscopic properties of saliva and changes in the clinical picture of chronic catarrhal gingivitis. With the inclusion of a comprehensive anti-inflammatory toothpaste containing fluorine and natural herbal extracts, a shift in the acid-base balance of the oral fluid to the alkaline side was recorded. CONCLUSION: The improvement in the oral hygiene indices and the resolution of inflammatory processes in periodontal tissues prove the efficacy of comprehensive treatment of chronic gingivitis including parodontax toothpaste.

Several toothpastes are compared in the study: "Zhemchuzhnaya-complex protection" containing as abrasive substance finely dispersed dicalcium phosphate phosphathydrate, "Noviy zhemchug ftor" and "Zhemchug svezhaya myata" with calcium carbonate. "Zhemchuzhnaya-complex protection" and "Noviy zhemchug ftor" both contain sodium monophosphate as active substance. Impact of these toothpastes on oral microbial, pH and mineral balance was assessed in the study.
