Abstract
Competent oral care in a regular format with properly selected hygiene products reduces the risk of dental caries and leads to a decrease in the incidence of common diseases. A large number of different hygiene products from many countries and manufacturers are represented on the dental market. In the scientific literature there is a confirmation of their action, advantages or disadvantages. However, much less attention has been paid to their correct and timely use, especially in childhood.
The aim of our work was a clinical evaluation of the anti-caries efficacy of commercial samples of toothpastes with various active substances (fluoride-free mineralizing complex and NaF).
A year and a half program of controlled, motivated brushing of teeth involved 90 students of the 1st grade of schools in Izhevsk, the seventh year of life (from 7 to 11–12 years old junior schoolchildren). The number of boys and girls was equal. The use of PRESIDENT children’s toothpastes in a one and a half year program of controlled brushing of teeth led to a decrease in the OHI-S index by 59–63 %, a decrease in the GI index by 53–58 % and a reduction in the increase in the intensity of dental caries by 28–44%.
