[Effects of mouthwashes on the structural characteristics of human mixed saliva].

Abstract

Effects of TANA hygienic liquids on the structural characteristics of mixed saliva were studied in 9 subjects aged 15-20 years after tooth cleaning with Colgate and Pepsodent toothpastes. Tooth cleaning with Colgate paste led to structural changes in the saliva, but gargling with hygienic liquids "Soft Fluoride Gargling" and "Tartar Control" helped preserve its structure. Structural characteristics of the oral fluid were retained after tooth cleaning with Pepsodent toothpaste. Gargling with the above hygienic liquids after tooth cleaning with Pepsodent led to structural changes in the saliva or created conditions for such changes. "Fluoride Gargling for Children" used after tooth cleaning with both toothpastes promoted alkalization of the oral fluid, which can lead to lithogenesis in the oral cavity.
