Evaluation of effectiveness of a preparation on the basis of phytoecdysteroids for treatment of traumatic injuries of oral mucosa in orthodontic patients

Abstract

Aim: To comparison of the effectiveness of the use of the phytoointment on the basis of phytoecdysteroids with effectiveness of the use of conventional synthetic drugs in the treatment of traumatic lesions of oral mucosa in orthodontic patients. Materials and Methods: A total of 110 orthodontic patients were examined and treated who have acute and chronic traumatic lesions of mucous tunic of lips and cheeks. Following preparations were used for treatment: Phytoointment containing phytoecdysteroids, gel cholisal, and dental paste solcoseryl. During each examination (before start of treatment and after 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 days), a visual evaluation of the state of traumatic injury and photoplanimetric measurement of dimensions of pathological focus were performed. Results and Discussion: Effectiveness of treating the traumas of oral mucosa, which were caused by orthodontic treatment with the help of non-removable appliances, was compared when these traumas were treated by various preparations: Solcoseryl, cholisal, and a new preparation on the basis of phytoecdysteroids. We revealed that among the medicinal preparations, which we compare, the highest effectiveness in the treatment of erosiveulcerous traumatic lesions of oral mucosa is provided by a new phytoointment. Taking into account low cost and absence of side effects, we can recommend this technique of the treatment for use as a method of choice.
