ABSTRACT
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using “Hexaliz” for treating gingivitis in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.
Objects and methods. The study involved 34 patients with braces who had simple marginal gingivitis. The patients were divided into two equal groups. Training oral hygiene and professional oral hygiene were performed in both groups. Anti-inflammatory therapy was prescribed to all patients according to the standard scheme. Patients of the main group additionally used “Hexaliz”. Gingival and papillary-marginal-alveolar indices were used to assess the severity and subsequent registration of inflammatory process dynamics.
Results and discussion. Therapy conducted in the main group was significantly more effective and the regression of gingivitis clinical symptoms occurred much faster, as indicated by the results of analyzing the gingival and papillary-marginal-alveolar indices dynamics (p < 0.01).
Conclusion.. “Hexaliz” may be recommended for the use as a local antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent for treating gingivitis in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.
