This study presents the results of treatment and prevention of chronic catarrhal gingivitis. The inclusion of a plant-based mouth rinse in a set of individual oral hygiene measures ensured its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, the mouth rinse contains fluoride, which has an anti-caries effect, allowing its recommendation for daily prevention of periodontal diseases and dental caries.

The study involved 40 patients aged 18–28 years diagnosed with chronic generalized catarrhal gingivitis. They were divided into two groups: the control group (20 patients) received standard therapy, while the main group (20 patients) received standard therapy combined with the mouth rinse. Analysis of the results demonstrated the clinical effectiveness of including the mouth rinse in individual hygiene measures, showing a positive impact on reducing the duration of inflammatory processes in the periodontium.

Daily use of the mouth rinse based on plant components and fluoride limits the proliferation of pathogenic plaque microflora and creates conditions for prolonged remission of catarrhal gingivitis.
