[A comparative evaluation of the cleaning and anti-inflammatory actions of sample therapeutic-prophylactic toothpastes]. / Sravnitel'naia otsenka ochishchaiushchego i protivovospalitel'nogo deistviia nekotorykh obraztsov lechebno-profilakticheskikh zubnykh past.

Therapeutic and preventive action of Lugela toothpaste was compared with similar salt-containing toothpastes manufactured in this country and abroad. Its anti-inflammatory and cleansing effects were found superior to those of similar pastes.

[The Ca and P content of various layers of human dental enamel in differing manifestations of fluorosis]. / Soderzhanie Ca i P v raznykh sloiakh Temali zubov cheloveka pri razlichnykh proiavleniiakh fliuoroza.

X-ray spectral microanalysis was applied to study Ca and P contents in superficial, intermedial and deep enamelum zones in 15 human teeth with different fluorosis manifestations which were extracted for orthodontic purposes. In 3rd grade fluorosis, detected were a statistically reliable decrease in Ca content in enamelum superficial zone and a tendency of its depleting in deep zones. Ca/P ratio was also lowered that indicated mineralization impairment in solid tissues of the teeth. This should affect the choice of the technique of therapy and prevention of different manifestations of teeth fluorosis.
