“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.

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.

To understand what “Maraslavin” looks like, just look at the photo. The drug is sold in liquid form and is packaged during production in darkened glass bottles of 100 milliliters. This is a red-brown solution that is ready for use. It tastes astringent and sour.

If the patient experiences sensitivity to the components of the drug, which occurs very rarely and manifests itself in the form of allergies or rashes, itching, then it is recommended not to immediately cancel it, but to try diluting the solution 1:1 with water.

Positive properties

This is a powerful antiseptic that has antimicrobial properties, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and can also reduce the intensity of pain. The drug also has good astringent properties, and the wormwood and clove oil contained in it prevent bleeding of the mucous membrane and strengthen the walls of blood vessels and capillaries. The composition is used to quickly restore mucous membranes damaged by periodontal diseases and surgical manipulations, regenerate its cells, increase resistance to bacterial attack, enhance immune status, and increase intercellular metabolism.

The photo shows teeth before and after treatment

Also, some researchers believe that the drug has a positive effect on strengthening the periodontal ligaments with the roots of the teeth, due to which their mobility disappears, and the teeth themselves stop loosening, shifting and falling out.
