FEATURES OF CHANGE OF QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION OF MICROBIOCENOSIS OF ORAL CAVITY DEPENDING ON THE EFFECT OF DENTAL HYGIENE
Abstract
In the article the features of the microflora of the oral cavity are considered:
qualitative and quantitative composition, factors influencing its changes. Comparison
of the effectiveness of oral hygiene products is carried out. The social diagnosis of the
state of the problem of studying the peculiarities of changes in the qualitative and
quantitative composition of the microbiocenosis of the oral cavity depends on the
effect of dental hygiene.
It is proved that rational oral hygiene using means of directed action is one of
the most massive and most effective methods of prevention of dental diseases. In recent
years there has been controversial information on the negative impact on
microbiocenosis of the oral cavity of long-term use of hygiene products, including
high-density antiseptics. However, no studies have yet been conducted to evaluate the
different composition of hygiene products on the microflora of the oral cavity
(saprophytic and pathogenic) and do not provide convincing evidence on the possible
development of dysbiosis with further negative consequences. All of the above resulted
in the direction of this study.
It has been established that the quantity and quality of the microflora of the oral
cavity are influenced by: age and gender of a person, its diet, hygiene skills, the state
of tissues and organs of the oral cavity, the presence of somatic diseases.
As a result of the research, the low state of the formation of the consciousness of
schoolchildren and their parents about the issues of oral hygiene was revealed.
Different degrees of influence of popular dental hygiene on the microflora of the oral
cavity have been established. Thus, with an increase in the degree of protective action,
the investigational means of oral hygiene form the following series: toothpaste >
chewing gum > rinse aid.
Key words: microflora, bacilli, coccus, oral cavity, eubiosis.
