The purpose of the research was to study an influence of gel “Malcit” on functional activity of the salivary glands and a period of adaptation to removable dentures in patients with hyposalivation.
26 patients for whom removable dentures had been made for the first time, were examined. By the moment of prosthesis a low level of salivation had been stated with all of them (the speed of nonstimulated saliva discharge was less than 0,5 ml/min). The research showed that the use of gel “Malcit” by applying on the surface of the prosthesis and open parts of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity twice a day resulted in strengthening of functional activity of salivary glands, prevented development of inflammation of prosthesis place and speed up the period of adaptation to the removable dentures with an acrylic basis.
