Today, the leading task of primary prevention is hygienic training and education of the adult population to improve their dental health. A high level of survival of preventive knowledge correlates with the level of oral hygiene, reducing the prevalence of dental caries in various population groups.

Relevance. Odontogenic infection is one of the most important problems of dental science. The variety of anti-inflammatory oral hygiene products determines the need for targeted selection of preventive toothpastes and rinses, balms, foams, elixirs, as well as monitoring and training the algorithm of hygienic measures for a patient with an odontogenic infection. The aim of the study was to study the hygienic status of the adult population for the selection of individual oral hygiene products for odontogenic infection, taking into account social and hygienic factors.Materials and methods. The study examined the prevalence of odontogenic infection in the adult population to determine the need for professional care and dental education. The study involved 198 people without somatic pathology, who were allocated into four groups according to the performed oral care and taking into account the dental status and the intensity of oral microbiota formation in the adult population. The patients were followed-up every week for one month. The study examined the simplified oral hygiene index by GreenVermillion (OHI-S), PMA index and Mühlemann and Son sulcus bleeding index, which allowed calculating the effectiveness of oral care products.Results. The preventive care effectiveness evaluation showed an increase in the cleansing effect in the adult population over the entire study period. The anti-inflammatory effectiveness analysis demonstrated positive changes: by the end of the study, the PMA index was 51.52 ± 3.40% in group 1; it increased by a factor of 3 and amounted to 44.17 ± 2.77% in group 2; 56.51 ± 4.61% – in group 3, 48.95 ± 3.60% – in group 4. The Mühlemann and Son sulcus bleeding index demonstrated the changes in the periodontal tissue condition and amounted to 52.78 ± 3.62% in group 1, 44.11 ± 3.54% in group 2, 54.97 ± 3.98% in group 3, 47.78 ± 2.73% in group 4.Conclusions. The development of oral health promotion measures determines the significance of oral care products for the prevention of odontogenic infection in the adult population, which plays a crucial role in the individual program planning for the main dental disease prevention.

To improve and maintain dental health among the population today, the leading task of primary prevention is to increase motivation in individual oral hygiene. The low level of oral hygiene comes to the fore, which forms the hygienic and dental status, leading to an increase in the prevalence of caries and inflammatory periodontal diseases in the population. The survival of dental prophylactic knowledge, taking into account the hygienic and periodontal status in the adult population, was studied to determine the need for dental hygiene education and upbringing. Preservation of dental hygiene knowledge determines the level of dental health in the adult population. The leading feature of the prevention of major dental diseases among various groups is the constant repeated “hygiene lessons” in the adult population, taking into account their dental status, which maintains a higher level of preservation of preventive knowledge and motivation to take the necessary actions. The ongoing monitoring made it possible to correct the preventive focus of sanitary and educational work, which increased the level of dental health among the population.

Relevance. Over the past decade, manufacturers of oral care products have expanded the possibilities of solving the problem of hypersensitivity of teeth due to a variety of new modern technologies, which provides an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of active oral care product components. The study aimed to investigate desensitizing, remineralizing and anti-caries effectiveness of Asepta Extra Sensitive toothpaste to confirm the toothpaste properties stated by the manufacturer. Material and methods. Forty-nine people, aged from 24 to 58 years, participated in the clinical testing of the toothpaste. The study used the Orekhova – Ulitovskiy tooth sensitivity index to evaluate the desensitizing toothpaste and determined the severity of dental hyperesthesia using diagnostic tests. We objectively assessed the functional state of the enamel using the Okushko – Kosareva enamel resistance test. The study evaluated the electrical conductivity of the dentin hypersensitivity to investigate the anti-caries effect.Result. The desensitizing effectiveness increased to 64.59 ± 5.72% by the end of the study, according to the Orekhova – Ulitovskiy sensitivity index. The dentin hypersensitivity hypersensitivity decreased, according to the diagnostic tests. The tooth sensitivity reduction effectiveness increased – 62.22 ± 6.84%, according to the tooth tactile sensitivity assessment by linear advancement of the probe along the tooth surface. The analysis of the remineralizing parameter showed positive changes in the enamel resistance test. The remineralizing parameter value amounted to 21.49 ± 1.91%, and the remineralizing effectiveness reached 61.05 ± 2.98%. The values of anti-caries action and anti-caries effectiveness were 3.31 ± 0.52 mA and 29.72 ± 1.92%, respectively, according to the method of dentin hypersensitivity electrical conductivity evaluation with Asepta Extra Sensitive toothpaste. The desensitizing, remineralizing and anti-caries results of Asepta Extra Sensitive toothpaste use were high.Conclusion. The development of dental health strengthening measures determines the significance of oral care products in tooth sensitivity prevention in the population, which plays a leading role in planning individual programs to prevent major dental diseases.
