MATERIALS OF THE XVI INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL CONFERENCE ★ March 30 - April 7, 2020
The tertiary prophylaxis is concentrated on prosthetics the function of missing 
tissues and the rehabilitation of patients bringing their condition closer to normal as 
possible.
Taking into account the etiology and pathogenesis of diseases it is proposed to 
divide preventive measures into etiotropic and pathogenetic. These functions include 
measures aimed at reducing the incidence rate of carious disease causing oral 
microflora and their vital products. Pathogenetic prophylaxis includes increasing the 
resistance of all body structures from tooth enamel to the whole organism.
It is known that primary prevention is the most promising and effective, since 
it is intended not to protect impaired health, but to prevent the occurrence of 
pathological changes in the oral cavity.
Primary prevention methods include:
- balanced diet;
- individual oral hygiene;
- professional oral hygiene;
- use of topical prophylaxis methods;
- dental education of the population.
The leading component of dental disease prevention is oral hygiene. Recent 
worldwide population surveys have convincingly shown the significance of this 
procedure. It was found that carious and periodontal diseases were much less common 
among people who brush their teeth regularly.
Personal hygiene is the careful and regular removal of dental deposits by the 
patient itself from the surfaces of teeth and gums using various means. Currently, the 
arsenal of toothpastes on offer is quite a lot. All of them are divided into hygienic and 
therapeutic. Toothpastes must meet the following requirements:
- Removes soft plaque and food debris well;
- Tastes good;
- Has a good deodorizing and refreshing effect;
- Does not have side effects such as local irritation and allergy.
For better oral hygiene, additional tools are used: flosses, toothpicks, tooth 
elixirs, mouthwash, chewing gum.
