Oral hygiene plays an important role in keeping the body healthy. Oral cavity is in direct contact with the external environment, due to which it is natural to have bacterial growth in the mouth, but by adopting the measures of oral hygiene, bacterial growth can be easily prevented and keep body healthy. In Ayurvedic classical texts Kawal & Gandoosha are described under the heading of Dincharaya, which not only keep oral cavity disease free but also healthy too. These procedures are essential for maintaining and promoting oral hygiene. By seeing these benefits, Government of India include Kawal (oil pulling) in the National Ayurveda Protocol for the management of covid-19.

Mukha (oral cavity) is considered as a gateway for the alimentary canal, health of the oral cavity reflects the body health as healthy oral cavity aids in proper digestion of the food consumed. The oral cavity also takes part in bodi- ly functions like respiration and speech. It also contributes to the beauty and confidence of an individual. Mukha is comprised of Osta (lips), Dantamula (Gums), Danta (Tooth), Jinhva (Tongue), Taalu (Palate), Gala (Throat). Since the Oral cavity is constantly exposed to the external environment, there are more chances of trauma and infections. Hence to avoid the chances of oral cavity diseases it is very important to maintain good oral hygiene. Kriyakalpa is the therapeutic procedure applied locally and are considered under bahirparimarjana chikitsa. Ka- vala, Gandusha and Pratisarana are kriyakalpas explained for good oral hygiene. These can be used as a daily regimen to maintain good oral hygiene and in mukharoga as therapeutic procedures. These mukha kriyakalpa- due to their cleaning action and by increasing defence mechanism, promotes oral health and prevents many oral disorders. Various formulations for mukha kriyakalpa are available for a healthy person based on prakriti and for treatment based on vitiated dosha avastha.

ABSTRACT Introduction In this era of stem cell transplantation, tissue engineering and piezosurgery, it is important to consider the toothbrush as a source of potential pathogens. As toothbrush plays an important everyday role for personal oral hygiene and effective plaque removal. Oral cavity incubates diversity of microorganisms; therefore it is not surprising that some of these microorganisms were transferred to toothbrush during use. Presence of nutrients, epithelial debris and oral secretions make the toothbrush a favorable media for numerous bacterial growths. Aim The main aim of this study was to evaluate the microbial flora predominantly present in toothbrushes. Materials and methods Samples of 150 different used toothbrushes from healthy population were taken randomly for microbial analysis. Samples of toothbrushes were put in Robertson cooked meat (RCM) media for both aerobic and anaerobic microbial recognition. Inoculation was done on blood agar and MacConkey's agar plate and culture plates were incubated for 24 hours. Results Fifty-four samples showed facultative anaerobes growth, i.e. Streptococcus mutans, Alpha-hemolytic streptococci, coagulase negative Staphylococci (CONS) and diphtheroids. Sixty-six samples showed polymicrobial etiology and 30 showed purely anaerobic bacteria, i.e. Bacteroides, Lactobacilli. Conclusion Toothbrush is thus considered a potential biohazard for reintroduction of microorganisms in the oral cavity. New oral hygiene devices like Dental Air Force home dental cleaning system will emerge as true alternative for toothbrush. How to cite this article Saini R, Kulkarni V.

Oral health among the elderly population is an integral part of their overall health. Good oral health facilitates effective chewing, contributes positively to speech, social confidence and is associated with better cognitive and functional capacity in the elderly. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) it is generally acceptable if older patients have about 20 functional teeth in the oral cavity. Toothlessness is today seen as a physical disability, as the imperative part of the body is lost and this in turn affects patients' personal satisfaction.The main goal of this research was to determinate the prosthetic status and the need for prosthetic rehabilitation at the elderly in the city of Strumica, Macedonia, and as specific goals were set as follows: to assess the overall oral health of patients, including the frequency of visiting a dentist, to determine oral hygiene habits; to determine the number of lost teeth associated with the patients’ age; to determine the type of prosthetic appliance and their current state in the patients' mouth; to indicate negative and positive criticism and the level of satisfaction of patients from prosthetic devices (in terms of aesthetics); to determine the type of diet and general health status of patients; to determine the status of total prostheses in terms of retention, stabilization, extension and occlusion.The study included 40 patients from Strumica aged 50 to 75 years, 18 women and 22 men. The presented data were obtained from the research conducted in the period from 20.06.2018 to 30.08.2018 in which the following procedures were performed: anamnestic data, clinical examination and completing a questionnaire by patients.Based on the data obtained, their analysis, and the results of our research, we can make the following conclusions: Hygiene habits and attitudes may be related to gender distribution, level of education, and they do not always produce positive results; Education is one of the most important factors contributing to patients' awareness of their health and the need for regular check-ups in dental practice and daily oral hygiene; General illnesses often play a major role in the oral cavity, and poor habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption and other harmful products, including diet, are major contributing factors to caries and periodontal disease leading to tooth loss; With increasing age, patients have a growing number of lost teeth and their awareness of replacing them is linked to both aesthetic and functional aspects; The dentist should always take care to preserve the natural teeth in the patient's mouth, to get the most out of the situation and to seek the most appropriate prosthetic rehabilitation and prosthetic compensation.

Relevance of the research topic. Evaluation of changes in the index characteristics of oral hygiene, physicochemical parameters of mixed saliva (pH, buffer capacity of saliva, redox potential, osmolality and others) allows to determine the quality of the effect of toothpaste «Рarodontax ultra clean» on the state of the oral cavity. The use of mixed saliva as a biological fluid of the body as an object of study is confrmed by its high information content and availability of diagnostic material. Studies of changes in mixed saliva, whose components affect the composition, accumulation of microbial plaque and the process of its calcifcation are appropriate.Purpose. То evaluate the clinical effcacy of toothpaste «Рarodontax ultra clean», the complex effect of its components on the tissues of the teeth and of fabric of parоdontium, to determine the possible mechanism of anti-inflammatory action.Materials and methods. The experiment involved 58 people. The clinical examination included: Green-Vermillion hygiene indices; bleeding, gingivitis, parоdontium indices. Laboratory studies of unstimulated mixed saliva included parameters: qualitative analysis of the secret, a number of physico-chemical parameters; crystallographic characteristics. For an integrated assessment of nonspecific resistance of the oral cavity, the reaction of adsorption of microorganisms by epithelial cells was used.Results. In the course of use by patients of toothpaste «Рarodontax ultra clean», an improvement in the oral hygiene condition was noted, a decrease in the rate of plaque formation was diagnosed in 100% of cases, which is clinically confrmed by positive dynamics of hygiene indices (p < 0.05). With regular use of toothpaste, the inflammation of the gums decreases: after 7 days the bleeding of the gums decreases twice, after 14 days - 4.5 times. Summary. The use of toothpaste «Рarodontax ultra clean» leads to a qualitative transformation of the structure of mixed saliva in patients: an improvement in microcrystallization, an increase in salivation, an increase in pH values and bringing it into the range of normal values, an increase in buffer capacity and osmolality. Ingredients such as sodium bicarbonate, silicon dioxide and sodium fluoride contribute to the improvement of metabolic processes in the oral cavity and the adsorption properties of the epithelium after exposure to the investigated toothpaste.

As oral cavity is considered as the gateway to the body. The shape, coating, color and texture of oral cavity can give clues to overall health especially related to digestive system. So, oral hygiene is of prime im-portance which has significant impact on quality of life. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2016 esti-mated that oral diseases affected at least 3.58 billion people worldwide, with caries of the permanent teeth being the most prevalent of all conditions assessed. Ayurveda, the life science, mentions Dinacharya, a very unique and important aspect of lifestyle. In dinacharya, acharyas recommended dantadhavana, jiwha nirlekhana and kavala-gandusha vidhis pertaining to oral cavity. Nowadays, in this modern busy life with many unhealthy habits, incorporation of these procedures proves helpful in maintaining the heathy status of oral cavity and preventing its diseases. This paper focuses on the role of dantadhavana, jiwha nirlekhana and kavala-gandusha in promoting the health by maintaining the hygiene of the oral cavity.

International Experts

Since the 1990s numerous international experts have reported about the somatic complications of eating disorders including those having a dental and stomatological nature. Several reports emphasised that deformations in the oral cavity resulting from this grave nutritional disease typical of the young generation could already appear in the early stage and, therefore, dentists are among the first to diagnose them. Dentists are still often unaware of the importance of their role in multidisciplinary treatment. Even if they knew what the disease was about and recognised it on the basis of deformations in the oral cavity in time, their advice that their patients should brush their teeth more often would fail to eliminate the root cause of the problem. Not only the earliest possible treatment of the complications of the bingeing-purging mechanism and the maintenance of oral hygiene are important, but controlling and curing pathological habits with active participation of psychiatrists are also required to ensure full recovery. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the disease, manifold communication is required. For this reason, publishing the dental ramifications of organic and systemic diseases at dental conferences and in technical journals, as well as providing information about oral complications of eating disorders for general practitioners and specialists are particularly important.

Relevance. Periodontal diseases are a medical and social problem due to the wide spread among the population of developed countries and the impact on the quality of life. Among the many factors that are important in the development of inflammatory periodontal diseases, an important role is played by adherence to the recommendations of the dentist in respecting oral hygiene. Aim of the work was to study the adherence of patients of the dental clinic to compliance with preventive measures in the oral cavity.Materials and methods. A total of 98 patients of dental clinic, 62 female (medial age 38,6 ± 14,0 years) and 36 male (medial age 37,2±13,1 years) participated in survey. The study participants flled in the profle and answered questions about age, gender, harmful working conditions and bad habits, frequency of visits to the dental clinic, attitudes to the prevention of dental diseases, knowledge about the means and methods of oral hygiene.Results. As a result of the study, it was found that in the vast majority of cases, respondents are employed in production that does not adversely affect their health (91%), only 8% of patients indicated harmful working conditions.Conclusions. The study revealed that, despite the recommendations of the dentist, patients are not always committed to the implementation of preventive measures in the oral cavity. Dentists need to motivate patients to use not only the usual methods and means of hygiene, but also additional ones necessary for maintaining dental health.

Quality Of Food

«Man is what he eats,» these words belong to the great Pythagoras. He meant by these words the connection of the origin of consumed food with the spiritual development of man. In fact, a lot depends on the nature of nutrition, the quality of food and, of course, on the degree of its perception by the body. Digestion process begins not in the stomach, but directly in the oral cavity as a result of mechanical processing of products with teeth and under the influence of the secretion of the salivary glands. That is why healthy teeth are the key to the normal functioning of the whole organism — people should start taking care of their teeth from the early childhood and dentists, who are far from being beloved by everybody and are often carelessly evaded, are called upon to help keep the teeth healthy.
