[Analysis of the efficacy and safety of electric toothbrushes Oral-B with oscillating-rotating technology in «Healthy smile¼ program].

The aim of study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of individual oral hygiene in adult patients by regular use of electric toothbrushes with the oscillating-rotating technology basing on data obtained during the implementation of «Healthy Smile¼ program. Questionnaires of 7022 dentists in Russia and Ukraine were used to assess personal experience of using Oral-B PC 5000 toothbrush. The dental status dynamics after regular use of Oral-B PC 500 tooth brush was evaluatedin 21 088 patients within 12 weeks. It was found out that the use of electric toothbrushes with the oscillating-rotating technology for individual oral hygiene provided a significant improvement of oral hygiene in 93.5±0.17%, reducing plaque in 92.5±0.18% of patients, improving gingival condition in 87.1±0.23% of participants of the Program. The effectiveness of the implemented algorithm of clinical testing and practical application of innovative, high-tech personal oral hygiene tools is proved.

[Comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis]. / Kompleksnyi podkhod k diagnostike i lecheniiu khronicheskogo generalizovannogo parodontita.

The article presents the new investigation technique of parodontium examination and treatment. The trials proved the high efficacy of low molecular polyvinylpyrrolidone, antioxidantes, antihypoxants, application sorbites, low-temperature plasma flow argon and surgical interventions.

[The cytological indices and electrokinetic mobility of the cell nuclei of the buccal epithelium in assessing periodontal status]. / Tsitologicheskie pokazateli i élektrokineticheskaia podvizhnost' iader kletok bukkal'nogo épiteliia v otsenke sostoianiia parodonta.

Study of electrokinetic mobility of buccal epitheliocyte nuclei, nonspecific resistance of buccal mucosa cells, and cytograms of patients with periodontitis of different severity revealed a clear-cut correlation between these parameters and severity of clinical picture of periodontal inflammation. Morphological and cytological studies of buccal epithelial cells are proposed to be used for assessing the severity of periodontal inflammation and the efficacy of therapy.

[The effect of different concentrations of dimexide and ortofen on the T-cell and neutrophil components of immunity]. / Vliianie razlichnykh kontsentratsii dimeksida i ortofena na T-kletochnye i neitrofil'noe zven'ia immuniteta.

Clinical and immunological efficacy of 2.5% orthophene and 50% dimexide used to arrest an acute inflammatory process in the periodontium is assessed. Three types of salivary neutrophils are distinguished, similar to previously detected types of response of blood immunocompetent cells. Both drugs had a favorable impact on the functional activity of blood T-lymphocytes, blood and salivary neutrophils and are recommended for patients with types I and II reactions of immunocompetent cells of the blood.
