The efficiency of using the mouthwash cavity with anti-inflammatory effect in the complex of hygienic measures

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of various complexes of hygienic measures to improve the condition of the oral cavity in 40 patients (23 men and 17 women, the average age is 27.8 ± 3.2 years). The initial assessment of the condition of the oral cavity was carried out using a simplified OHI-S hygiene index and PMA index. Patients were divided into the main group, which received a manual toothbrush, toothpaste and a mouthwash with anti-inflammatory effect, and a comparison group that uses only a brush and paste. After one month of use of hygiene products, the results showed a statistically significant decrease in OHI-S and PMA indices in all patients (p< 0.05). The analysis of the data showed that the level of oral hygiene in patients of the main group was significantly higher (p< 0.05) compared to the comparison group. In particular, the use of a toothbrush, pasta and a mouthwash with an anti-inflammatory effect led to a decrease in the hygiene index by 67%, while when using only brushes and pasta, a decrease was only 17%. A complete decrease in the inflammatory process in periodontal tissues (PMA 0% index) was achieved in 45 %of patients of the main group, while in the comparison group this result was observed only in 25%.
