Abstract
Relevance. The article provides an analysis of the obtained results of quantitative changes in the concentration of trace elements in the salivary fluid of athletes against the background of correction of oral hygiene and the use of additional hygiene products with different compositions.
Objective. To analyze the effectiveness of preventive measures for the oral cavity in people undergoing sports training, taking into account their microelement status and its quantitative changes after 4 months of regular use.
Materials and Methods. The study involved four groups of athletes, each using a different oral care product: Group 1 (TP): high-mineral toothpaste. Group 2 (X): lollipops with xylitol. Group 3 (TP+X): combination of toothpaste with minerals Group 4 (0): standard toothpaste without additional properties.
Results. Analysis of the results reveals quantitative changes in the trace elements composition of salivary fluid of athletes after 4 months of using an additional oral hygiene products with different compositions.
Conclusion. The study showed that the use of hygiene products with a high content of microelements leads to a significant improvement in the composition of saliva in athletes. This highlights the importance of choosing hygiene products that help maintain oral health and strengthen tooth enamel. It is recommended to continue to use such products to prevent dental diseases and improve the general condition of the oral cavity in this population.
