“Maraslavin” - a review of a remedy for pain and inflammation of the gums

Pharmacological properties

Combined herbal preparation for topical use in dentistry.
has an antiseptic, disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, astringent, local anesthetic and regeneration-stimulating effect. When the drug is applied topically, soft tissue hyperemia and increased exudation are first noted. the presence of ammonium chloride in a hypertonic concentration leads to a decrease in exudation, neutralization of toxic substances in periodontal pockets, and stimulates restoration processes. due to its fibrosing effect, at the end of the course of treatment there is an increase in collagen fibrils and their compaction, a significant decrease in swelling and bleeding. Regular use of maraslavin after complete removal of tartar and treatment of the root surface eliminates bad breath. the drug leads to a decrease in hypersensitivity when the necks of the teeth are exposed and shifts the pH to the acidic side, thus acting bacteriostatically on the fusospirillum microflora existing in the oral cavity. The gingival papillae fit tightly to the necks of the teeth. the depth of periodontal pockets, measured with special periodontal probes, is significantly reduced. The herb wormwood, which is part of the drug, contains active ingredients - essential oils, among which blue-green essential oil has the highest activity. It also contains thujol alcohol, thujone ketone, terpenes, acetic and isovaleric acids.

The main pharmacological properties of wormwood when used systemically are stimulation of salivation (saliva has a bactericidal effect); stimulation of taste buds. When applied topically, it accelerates the regeneration processes and healing of wounds and ulcers.

Garden savory contains the essential oils of carvacrol and paracymol, tannins, and mucous substances. It has an astringent, bactericidal, antispasmodic effect.

Clove tree buds contain essential oils: eugenol, acetoeugenol, vanillin and caryophyllene. Clove essential oils are used in dental practice as antiseptics and also have an analgesic effect.

Black pepper contains approximately 1.2–2.6% essential oils, which are responsible for its antimicrobial and therapeutic effects on periodontal disease.

Stimulates taste nerve receptors and helps increase gastric secretion and saliva. Also has an insecticidal effect.

The medicine also contains ginger. It contains up to 3% essential oils, arylalkanes, gingerdiols and starch. These main components determine the following pharmacological effects: stimulation of salivation, gastric and bile secretion, antiemetic, antioxidant, antiplatelet, antilipidemic and anti-inflammatory effects.

The essential oils of certain types of medicinal plants in the preparation, different in composition, determine the pronounced anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect of the combination. The presence of tannins, acids and dyes in the solution contributes to the antiexudative, antihemorrhagic and local anesthetic effect of the combination.

There are no data on the pharmacokinetics of the individual components and their combination when applied topically to the gums or gum pockets.

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.
