Исследования показывают, что немногие пациенты ежедневно соблюдают гигиену языка. Опросы выявляют низкую осведомленность о скребках для языка среди определенных групп населения. Скребки для языка играют важную роль в гигиене полости рта, удаляя биопленку и остатки пищи, что способствует улучшению здоровья полости рта, борьбе с неприятным запахом изо рта. Гигиена языка способствует профилактике стоматологических заболеваний. Скребки изготавливаются из различных материалов, таких как металл, пластик и дерево, каждый из которых обладает разными свойствами. Металлические скребки долговечны и легко стерилизуются, пластиковые варианты более доступны по стоимости. Деревянные скребки достаточно экологичны. Формы скребков также различаются: U-образные скребки схожи с формой языка, а T-образные обеспечивают хороший доступ к поверхности языка. Регулярное очищение языка уменьшает неприятный запах изо рта и улучшает гигиену полости рта. Хотя некоторые исследования не выявляют разницы между использованием зубных щеток или скребков, другие предполагают, что скребки более эффективно снижают содержание летучих сернистых соединений. В последнее время исследователи изучили и другие виды скребков, такие как ультразвуковые скребки и скребки, генерирующие микротоки. При этом неправильное использование скребков может вызвать раздражение или травму. Скребки для языка – специальные инструменты для гигиены полости рта при правильном использовании, помогают удалять налет, предотвращают неприятный запах изо рта и улучшают вкусовое восприятие.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>There are many methods of cleaning the tongue, ranging from simple ones such as rubbing with fingers or a spoon, to specialized tools such as scrapers and brushes. Studies show that few patients practice daily tongue hygiene. Surveys reveal low awareness of language scrapers among certain groups of the population. Tongue scrapers play an important role in oral hygiene by removing biofilm and food residues, which helps improve oral health and fight bad breath. Hygiene of the tongue contributes to the prevention of dental diseases. Scrapers are made of various materials such as metal, plastic and wood, each of which has different properties. Metal scrapers are durable and easy to sterilize, plastic options are more affordable. Wooden scrapers are quite environmentally friendly. The shapes of the scrapers also vary: U-shaped scrapers are similar to the shape of the tongue, while T-shaped ones provide good access to the surface of the tongue. Regular tongue cleansing reduces bad breath and improves oral hygiene. Although some studies do not identify a difference between using toothbrushes or scrapers, others suggest that scrapers are more effective at reducing volatile sulfur compounds (VSC). Recently, researchers have studied other types of scrapers, such as ultrasonic scrapers and microcurrent generating scrapers. However, improper use of the scrapers may cause irritation or injury. Tongue scrapers are special tools for oral hygiene, when used correctly, they help remove plaque, prevent bad breath, and improve taste perception.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>скребок для языка</kwd><kwd>микротоки</kwd><kwd>гигиена языка</kwd><kwd>летучие сернистые соединения</kwd><kwd>галитоз</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>tongue scrapers</kwd><kwd>microcurrent generating scrapers</kwd><kwd>tongue hygiene</kwd><kwd>volatile sulfur compounds</kwd><kwd>halitosis</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Попруженко Т.
