Baikadent®
gel, OTC drugBaikadent® is a gel for application to gums in case of periodontal diseases. Use of the preparation improves condition of gums.
It is assumed that anti-inflammatory effects are based on inhibition of synthesis of cell mediators of inflammatory states (interleukin IL-1ß , leucotriens, prostaglandins) and stimulation of fibroblast activity in gum cells. Besides, flavonoid complex is characterized by anti-bacterial activity (mainly with regard to Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus mutans and other pathogenic bacteria, e.g. Prevotella intermedia, previously Bacteroides melaninogenicus intermedius, isolated from the mouth of patients suffering from chronic inflammatory states of the mouth) as well as anti-fungal (especially with regard to Candida albicans).
