- 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.

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
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.

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.
How is the treatment carried out?
As mentioned above, a solution for gum inflammation and for antibacterial treatment of mucous membranes is prescribed for various pathological conditions. In this case, the product is indicated both for independent use at home and for therapeutic procedures in a dental clinic.
When using the drug, you should follow the instructions
Instructions for professional therapy at the dentist
When a dentist performs a procedure, he acts according to the following scheme:
- first, the doctor performs mechanical treatment of the supra- and subgingival area throughout the entire dentition,
- then the specialist places special tampons, previously soaked with a medicinal solution, into the cleaned alveolar pockets. Such lotions are left on for literally 5 minutes, after which they are replaced with new ones. As part of one procedure, 5-6 inserts are usually made - this ensures deep penetration of the active ingredients of the drug into the soft tissues,
- At the end of the session, the tampons are left inside the pockets for another day. These lotions should not be touched with your hands. The doctor schedules a second visit the next day,
- at the next session, the specialist carefully removes the tampons, cleans the pockets of newly formed stone and repeats 5-6 packs of tampons soaked in Maraslavin. The last batch is again left for a day - you will have to visit the dentist the next day, since it is not recommended to remove the lotions yourself.
The specialist moistens the tampon with the drug and places it in the periodontal pocket.
The duration of the course does not exceed 3 months. Over the entire period, at least 17-20 manipulations should be performed. Six months after completing the course, you must visit the specialist again to evaluate the results of the therapy. If necessary, the course is re-assigned.
Instructions for “Maraslavin” for independent use
To use the product yourself, you first need to learn how to dilute it correctly. Do not try to put tampons into periodontal pockets and remove the lotions left there without the help of a specialist - only a doctor can do this correctly. At home, the drug can be used as a mouth rinse.
The following describes how to dilute Maraslavin to treat gums:
- for rinsing - dilute a tablespoon of the product in a glass of warm water. Rinsing is repeated up to 5 times a day for no more than 3 months,
- baths - 2 tablespoons of the solution are kept in the mouth undiluted for 10-15 minutes, the procedure is repeated no more than 5 times a day,
- applications - gauze dressings are moistened in the preparation, applied to the gums and left there for 15 minutes.
For rinsing - dilute a tablespoon of the product in a glass of warm water.
The drug can be combined with other medications. However, before starting therapy, you should definitely consult with your dentist.
Recommendations and warnings
Like any drug, Maraslavin requires strict adherence to the instructions. It cannot be used if the patient has specific contraindications. Let's take a closer look at the recommendations and warnings for using this product.
What are the contraindications
It is not recommended to use Maraslavin if you are hypersensitive to the components and under the age of 18 years. The composition does not affect the enamel and dentin in any way, does not cause harm to the body and does not cause intoxication. It is also worth noting that there is no reliable data yet on the harm from using the drug during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The admissibility of its use during these periods is determined by the attending physician.
The drug is not recommended for use in children
Interaction with other drugs
The instructions say that the product can be combined with other medications. However, reliable data on possible interactions do not yet exist. If you are undergoing drug therapy at the same time, consult your doctor about this. But it is better to avoid spicy and irritating foods during the course in order to avoid unnecessary injury to the mucous membrane.
Side effects
Adverse reactions are possible if the outflow of purulent masses from the alveolar cavity is impaired. In such a situation, there is a risk of low-grade fever due to too close contact of the lotions with the mucous membrane. In this case, the symptom goes away almost immediately after removing the tampons. In other cases, an allergic reaction may develop due to individual intolerance to one or several components at once.
Recommendations for effective treatment
For therapy to bring the desired results, experts recommend following simple rules. Here are the main recommendations in this regard:
- During the course, it is better to refuse to use disinfectant solutions for rinsing the mouth - after eating, it will be enough to rinse your mouth with plain water,
- It is recommended to adjust your usual diet, give up acidic and too hard foods, as well as spicy foods. It is better to add more foods high in healthy vitamins and microelements to your diet,
- Experts advise to refrain from sunbathing and, if possible, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
During treatment, you should avoid eating acidic foods.
The drug does not affect psychomotor functions, does not reduce the level of concentration and does not prohibit driving. The bottle, when printed, can be stored for no more than a month.
Means with similar effects
Now about what can replace “Maraslavin”. Among analogues, experts identify several effective means. These include Russian-made Proposol - indicated for periodontitis, gingivitis and tonsillitis. It has a pronounced antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, but is not suitable for treating children under 12 years of age. Another good drug is Novosept Forte (Netherlands). The product in the form of a spray contains propolis, ethyl alcohol and glycerin. It is used for inflammation of the gums and periodontium, as well as for stomatitis.
"Maraslavin" produces Bulgarian. The company has existed since 1933, conducts active research and supplies high-quality, effective and proven products to world markets, including the well-known painkiller Tempalgin. You can buy “Maraslavin” at a pharmacy at a price of 150 to 200 rubles. However, before you start using the product, you should consult a specialist.
