Of this study was the evaluation of the effect of the antioxidant gel on the oral mucosa and reduction of the time of adaptation to a removable denture in patients with partial adentia. The study comprised 105 patients aged 30-65 years divided into three groups: the main group of 45 patients, the comparison group of 35 patients, the control group of 25 patients. The main group was given a prophylactic gel with natural astaxanthin after the delivery of a removable prosthesis. The patients of the control group and the comparison group do not received an antioxidant gel. Patients of all three groups underwent a study of the hygienic state of the oral mucosa and oral fluid to assess the state of oral microbiocenosis. The main group and the comparison group underwent visual examination and photoplanimetric control after the placement of a removable denture. A positive preventive and anti-inflammatory effect of astaxanthin gel was found in patients who received an immediate and a partial removable dentures. The use of the gel for 7 days helps to reduce the values of hygiene indices, concentrations of bacterial plasmalogen and endotoxin in the oral fluid in the short-term perspective. Preventive dental gel with astaxanthin decreases the time of adaptation to removable dentures by 1.7-2 times and reduces the risk of prosthetic stomatitis due to its wound-healing, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions.
