Aim of the study. To optimize the complex therapy and prevention of chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis in patients with bronchial asthma by including a herbal fluoride-containing mouth rinse in the treatment protocol.
Materials and methods. The study evaluated the effectiveness of complex therapy for chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis in patients with bronchial asthma using a plant-based mouth rinse containing fluoride. A total of 40 patients aged 18–28 years with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis were examined. Patients were divided into two groups: the main group (n=20) received standard therapy combined with the mouth rinse, and the comparison group (n=20) received standard treatment only.
Results. The use of the herbal mouth rinse contributed to a faster reduction of inflammatory symptoms — 6.7 ± 0.67 days versus 9.2 ± 1.38 days in the comparison group (p<0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, a significant improvement in oral hygiene indices was recorded in the main group (OHI-S = 0.49 ± 0.15) compared to the comparison group (OHI-S = 1.70 ± 0.30). Gingivitis relapse was not observed in the main group, while 25% of patients in the comparison group experienced recurrence. No allergic reactions or side effects were reported during the use of the mouth rinse.
Conclusion. The obtained data confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of including a herbal fluoride-containing mouth rinse in the complex therapy of chronic gingivitis in patients with bronchial asthma.
