“Maraslavin” - a review of a remedy for pain and inflammation of the gums

Compound

In what cases are rinses prescribed - indications for use

The drug is prescribed for various pathological processes in the gums and periodontal tissues - inflammatory and destructive in nature. Among the main indications, experts identify stomatitis, gingivitis, periodontitis and periodontal disease. Let's consider some clinical cases of using the composition for periodontal disease.

Hemorrhagic form of periodontal disease

Characteristic signs of this form are severe bleeding of the gums, their swelling and soreness. Over time, the disease causes tooth mobility. Against the background of its development, shallow gingival pockets with subgingival deposits and a slight release of exudate are formed. In this case, rinsing with Maraslavin has the following effect:

• reduce pain,
• reduce swelling,
• stop bleeding.

The product relieves swelling and bleeding.
The solution helps to restore a tight fit of the gums to the cervical area of ​​the teeth, as well as significantly reduce gum pockets and prevent the appearance of purulent processes.

Periodontal disease, including pyorrhea

With the purulent form of periodontal disease, a large number of pockets appear at once, filled with purulent exudate and hardened deposits. After starting to use the solution, the intensity of the discharge of purulent masses initially increases, but then the therapy leads to its decrease until the pathological process is completely eliminated.

The drug also helps with periodontal disease

Directions for use and doses

Locally.

Treatment is carried out by a dentist and begins with the removal of supragingival tartar. At the same time, measures are taken to ventilate the gum pockets with a spray or a stream of warm water.

Then the drug Maraslavin® is instilled using loose cotton swabs into the alveolar and bone pockets using a probe. To do this, pour 20–25 ml of the drug into a glass vessel, with which cotton swabs are generously moistened (their size depends on the width of the alveolar or bone pocket). The tampons are left in the pockets for 5–6 minutes, and during this time the tampons are placed on the other side of the teeth or in the pockets of adjacent teeth. This procedure is repeated 5-6 times in one session (sequentially in each pocket). With each tampon change, it penetrates easier and deeper into the alveolar pocket.

The last tampons are left loosely in the pockets, the patient is released until the next day with the recommendation to remove the tampons himself in case of fever (due to purulent exudation) or other health problems and to consult a dentist.

At the second treatment session, the tampons remaining after the first visit are removed and subgingival tartar is removed. Sequentially insert several tampons into each pocket as in the first session. The last tampons are also left in place for 24 hours if possible.

Treatment is carried out at intervals for 3 months. 17–20 treatment sessions should be carried out using the method described above, depending on the degree of the disease and the patient’s condition. It is necessary that the first 5-6 sessions be carried out at intervals of 24 hours.

The following courses of treatment are prescribed by the dentist.

After 5–6 months after the end of treatment, a follow-up examination of the patient is carried out. Regardless of the condition of the gums, 1-2 procedures (if necessary more) are performed to treat the same places on the alveoli with Maraslavin® in order to eliminate possible microbial pathogens of the process. The final examination is carried out 12 months after the start of treatment.

How the drug works

"Maraslavin" effectively relieves acute inflammation and also prevents the occurrence of allergic reactions. It acts as a local anesthetic, thereby facilitating the patient’s condition and speeding up therapy. Regular rinsing with this product cleanses the oral tissues of microbial plaque and purulent plaques.

The drug also stimulates regenerative processes in tissues and increases the density of collagen fibers. The active components in its composition activate the growth and compaction of the epithelial layer of gingival tissue, due to which the natural restoration of the oral mucosa occurs1.

Before using the product, you should carefully read the instructions. There you can also find special instructions regarding the use of the drug:

• in the first stages of therapy, an increase in the inflammatory process, the appearance of swelling and irritation may be observed,
• relief of the condition will come after the gum pockets are completely cleansed of toxic deposits, and this will be followed by rapid healing of the mucous membrane,
• with prolonged use, gum bleeding decreases, the mucous membrane becomes denser and adheres better to the cervical area of ​​the teeth.

The drug relieves gum inflammation well

“When I had bad breath, I first tried to remove it with different pastes and rinses. Nothing really helped. I thought there was something wrong with my stomach, and then I went to the dentist and it turned out that it was all about deposits under the gums. I didn't even notice them in the mirror. We diagnosed the initial stage of periodontitis. I underwent ultrasonic cleaning and was prescribed rinsing with Maraslavin. After about a week, a little less, your gums began to look much better. The smell is completely gone."

Yuri, from correspondence on the forum www.32top.ru

Rinsing with the solution protects against further spread of infection, helps to reduce gum pockets and level the gum level. "Maraslavin" also prevents the appearance of pathological mobility of teeth and their loss.

Recommendations and warnings

Like any drug, Maraslavin requires strict adherence to the instructions. It cannot be used if the patient has specific contraindications. Let's take a closer look at the recommendations and warnings for using this product.

What are the contraindications

It is not recommended to use Maraslavin if you are hypersensitive to the components and under the age of 18 years. The composition does not affect the enamel and dentin in any way, does not cause harm to the body and does not cause intoxication. It is also worth noting that there is no reliable data yet on the harm from using the drug during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The admissibility of its use during these periods is determined by the attending physician.

The drug is not recommended for use in children

Interaction with other drugs

The instructions say that the product can be combined with other medications. However, reliable data on possible interactions do not yet exist. If you are undergoing drug therapy at the same time, consult your doctor about this. But it is better to avoid spicy and irritating foods during the course in order to avoid unnecessary injury to the mucous membrane.

Side effects

Adverse reactions are possible if the outflow of purulent masses from the alveolar cavity is impaired. In such a situation, there is a risk of low-grade fever due to too close contact of the lotions with the mucous membrane. In this case, the symptom goes away almost immediately after removing the tampons. In other cases, an allergic reaction may develop due to individual intolerance to one or several components at once.

Recommendations for effective treatment

For therapy to bring the desired results, experts recommend following simple rules. Here are the main recommendations in this regard:

• During the course, it is better to refuse to use disinfectant solutions for rinsing the mouth - after eating, it will be enough to rinse your mouth with plain water,
• It is recommended to adjust your usual diet, give up acidic and too hard foods, as well as spicy foods. It is better to add more foods high in healthy vitamins and microelements to your diet,
• Experts advise to refrain from sunbathing and, if possible, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

During treatment, you should avoid eating acidic foods.
The drug does not affect psychomotor functions, does not reduce the level of concentration and does not prohibit driving. The bottle, when printed, can be stored for no more than a month.

Reviews

Vladimir Fedorovich, Moscow. As an experienced dentist, I have been prescribing Maraslavin to my patients for quite some time. I consider the local remedy especially valuable for the treatment of chronic periodontal disease with purulent exudate. Therapy helps prevent surgery.

Yuri, Vladivostok. I had bad breath, I struggled with the problem for a long time, I used expensive toothpastes and magic elixirs for rinsing, but there was no effect. And then the dentist discovered periodontal disease. Therapy with Maraslavin saved me not only from bad breath, but also from tooth mobility. Thanks to the author of the wonderful remedy, and to the dentist for the correct treatment.

Katerina, Novosibirsk. After removing the tartar, the doctor prescribed rinsing with Maraslavin three times a day. I bought one bottle for the course, it was enough, but I had to suffer from the terrible taste of the solution, I remembered it for a long time. However, this is a small price to pay for recovery.

Oleg, Peter. I became friends with Maraslavin during the eruption of my wisdom teeth. To reduce pain and inflammation, the dentist prescribed rinses for me. I diluted the suspension in water according to the instructions and rinsed my mouth after eating. I had to put up with the unpleasant smell, but the treatment was short-lived. Now I use the product for preventive purposes so that my gums no longer become inflamed.

Pharmacological properties

Combined herbal preparation for topical use in dentistry.
has an antiseptic, disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, astringent, local anesthetic and regeneration-stimulating effect. When the drug is applied topically, soft tissue hyperemia and increased exudation are first noted. the presence of ammonium chloride in a hypertonic concentration leads to a decrease in exudation, neutralization of toxic substances in periodontal pockets, and stimulates restoration processes. due to its fibrosing effect, at the end of the course of treatment there is an increase in collagen fibrils and their compaction, a significant decrease in swelling and bleeding. Regular use of maraslavin after complete removal of tartar and treatment of the root surface eliminates bad breath. the drug leads to a decrease in hypersensitivity when the necks of the teeth are exposed and shifts the pH to the acidic side, thus acting bacteriostatically on the fusospirillum microflora existing in the oral cavity. The gingival papillae fit tightly to the necks of the teeth. the depth of periodontal pockets, measured with special periodontal probes, is significantly reduced. The herb wormwood, which is part of the drug, contains active ingredients - essential oils, among which blue-green essential oil has the highest activity. It also contains thujol alcohol, thujone ketone, terpenes, acetic and isovaleric acids.

The main pharmacological properties of wormwood when used systemically are stimulation of salivation (saliva has a bactericidal effect); stimulation of taste buds. When applied topically, it accelerates the regeneration processes and healing of wounds and ulcers.

Garden savory contains the essential oils of carvacrol and paracymol, tannins, and mucous substances. It has an astringent, bactericidal, antispasmodic effect.

Black pepper contains approximately 1.2–2.6% essential oils, which are responsible for its antimicrobial and therapeutic effects on periodontal disease.

Stimulates taste nerve receptors and helps increase gastric secretion and saliva. Also has an insecticidal effect.

The medicine also contains ginger. It contains up to 3% essential oils, arylalkanes, gingerdiols and starch. These main components determine the following pharmacological effects: stimulation of salivation, gastric and bile secretion, antiemetic, antioxidant, antiplatelet, antilipidemic and anti-inflammatory effects.

The essential oils of certain types of medicinal plants in the preparation, different in composition, determine the pronounced anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect of the combination. The presence of tannins, acids and dyes in the solution contributes to the antiexudative, antihemorrhagic and local anesthetic effect of the combination.
