[Effect of various mouthwashes on wound healing after tooth extraction].

The results of the clinical tests involving 200 patients show that after extraction the use of Meridol, NaF and Chlorhexidine mouthrinses along with careful mouth hygiene helps healing to a great extent. The antiseptic affect of solutions in case of solutions of fluoride content are manifested in an antibacterial way, while solutions of chlorhexidine content act in an antiseptic way. Furthermore the solutions foster good oral hygiene and in this way lessen the number of complications. This is shown by the decreased frequency rate of gingivitis and also the opinions of the patients. Their reports confirm that there is less foetor ox ore, pain and functional insufficiency in mastication. Based on these facts we can state that any of the three mouthrinses considerably helps complication-free healing.

[Treatment of xerostomia with lactoperoxidase-containing mouthwashes and toothpaste].

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a lactoperoxidase--hypothiocyanate enzyme system on the subjective complaints and symptoms of patients suffering from "dry mouth syndrome" with diseases of the oral mucosa. The objective changes in the oral microbiological flora and cytological pattern were also assessed. The lactoperoxidase-enzyme system-containing products--like Oralbalance gel (in combination with Biotène toothpaste)--seems to be a useful tool of choice for symptomatic therapy in patients, complaining of "dry mouth syndrome".

[The evaluation of the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of flurbiprofen mouthwash and 100-mg tablets in oral medicine].

In stomatology, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is very frequently reported in case of essential algia, of infections and in post-surgery prevention. In this open controlled study, efficacy and tolerability of two different formulations of a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug were evaluated in patients requiring extraction of inferior VI molar (limb gingivectomy and osteotomy using a rotatory instrument in molar roots). 40 patients following a randomisation list, were allocated to two balanced groups. In both oral standardised antibiotic therapy was administered and the first group received 1 tablet of flurbiprofen 100 mg twice daily, the second received flurbiprofen mouth wash 10 ml (0.25%) rinsing their mouths 6 times daily for three minutes. The anti-inflammatory and antibiotic treatment started one day before the extraction and lasted for the following three days. Pain symptoms, post-operative edema and healing of the surgical wound were observed. The profile of intensity of pain was similar in the two groups, but improved more rapidly in the group receiving oral flurbiprofen, although the recovery from the edema was achieved quicker with the mouth wash rinses, as well as the healing of the wound. Tolerability was good for both the formulations, in fact no patients stopped the therapy because of adverse events.
