Solcoseryl dental adhesive paste is a dental preparation based on deproteinized dialysate from the blood of calves, which is intended to accelerate the healing of ulcers, erosions and traumatic injuries of the oral mucosa. The drug can only be used on moist mucous membranes and, accordingly, it is not suitable for the treatment of wounds and skin lesions. In the latter cases, you should use Solcoseryl forms - in the form of a gel or ointment.

The drug is produced by an international pharmaceutical company and is registered as a “medicinal product”. In addition, it has no age restrictions and is available without a prescription. Solcoseryl dental paste has the appearance of a pale yellow homogeneous granular mass. If you squeeze the paste out of the tube, you will notice that it has a slightly dry consistency. Despite this, the paste is easily distributed and firmly fixed on the oral mucosa, while also performing the function of a protective bandage. The latter is very important, because if there are erosions on the mucous membrane, eating will be very painful.

Indications for use –

• for stomatitis – to accelerate the healing of ulcers and relieve pain (Fig. 3),
• after surgical operations in the oral cavity,
• bedsores under dentures
• for the treatment of jamming in the corners of the mouth,
• to accelerate the healing of the socket of an extracted tooth with alveolitis (Fig. 4).

This article was written by a dental surgeon, and in some cases that require clarification, the optimal solution for these indications will still be not adhesive dental paste, but Solcoseryl in gel form. In our opinion, for stomatitis, the paste will be optimal only in the presence of deep ulcerations, and for superficial erosions it will be better to use a gel. The same applies to the treatment of bedsores under dentures. For a detailed description of the use of the drug, read below.

Indications

For dental purposes, this medication is prescribed in the following cases:

• Burns of the mucous membrane.
• Mechanical damage to the gums.
• After tooth extraction.
• Stomatitis.
• Pimples on the gums.

Among the contraindications, the only contraindications can be noted: individual intolerance to the active substances. It is recommended to use only as prescribed by a doctor.

Please note that Solcoseryl is powerless as an independent treatment. The drug does not have antimicrobial properties, so before using the product it is necessary to disinfect the gum area with an antiseptic.

What types are there?

Previously, Solcoseryl was produced only in the form of an ointment, but the manufacturer has significantly expanded its product range:

• Gel. To fix the gel on the mucous membrane, you need to thoroughly treat the desired area with an antimicrobial agent, then wipe it dry with sterile gauze.
• Paste. Perhaps this is the most successful option, ideal for use within the oral cavity. The paste does not spread and holds well; it is often prescribed by dentists for the treatment of gums.
• Ointment. Solcoseryl in ointment form is not used for dental purposes. Due to its too greasy consistency, the product instantly spreads over the gums and is washed off with saliva. This option is most suitable for treating skin.
• Pills. They are used for oral administration for ulcerative lesions of the mucous membrane or for rapid tissue regeneration, for example, after a complex tooth extraction.

Solcoseryl

The drug solcoseryl is a deproteinized, chemically and biologically standardized hemodialysate obtained from the blood of dairy calves using the ultrafiltration method. A drug substance is a combination of many low-molecular components of the cell mass, including glycoproteins, nucleotides, nucleosides, amino acids, oligopeptides, electrolytes, microelements, intermediate products of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. This drug activates tissue metabolism, stimulates the processes of cellular nutrition and restoration. Solcoseryl provides more active transport of oxygen, glucose and other nutrients to tissues under conditions of oxygen starvation, stimulates the synthesis of intracellular ATP, promotes the growth and reproduction of reversibly damaged cells (which is especially important under hypoxic conditions), accelerating wound healing. The drug triggers the formation of new blood vessels, promotes the restoration of blood vessels in ischemic tissues and the growth of fresh granulation tissue, creates favorable conditions for the synthesis of the main structural protein of the body - collagen, accelerates the growth of epithelium on the wound surface, resulting in wound closure. Solcoseryl is also endowed with cytoprotective and membrane-stabilizing effects.

The drug is available in five dosage forms: solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration, ophthalmic gel, paste for topical use, gel and ointment for external use. The protective effect of the eye gel is to stimulate re-epithelialization of the cornea after various damaging effects on it: these can be chemical burns (for example, alkali), mechanical injuries, inflammatory processes. In addition to the active substance, this dosage form contains sodium carmellose, which ensures uniform and long-lasting coverage of the cornea, so that the affected area of ​​tissue is uninterruptedly saturated with the drug.

Eye gel is the only dosage form of solcoseryl that has restrictions for use in cases of engaging in potentially hazardous activities (driving a car, working in production): in such cases, after applying the gel to the cornea, it is necessary to suspend your activity for 20-30 minutes.

An additional component of solcoseryl dental adhesive paste is polidocanol 600, a local anesthetic whose action is realized at the level of peripheral nerve endings, causing their temporary blocking. This substance has a quick and long-lasting local analgesic effect. After applying dental paste to the oral mucosa, the pain stops after 2-5 minutes, and this effect persists for another 3-5 hours. Solcoseryl dental paste forms a protective healing layer on the affected area of ​​the oral mucosa and effectively protects it from various types of damage. Meanwhile, this dosage form has a number of restrictions for use: for example, it is not recommended to put it into the cavity formed after the removal of wisdom teeth, molars and resection of the apex of the tooth (in the latter case, if sutures are applied after tightening the edges of the socket). The paste does not contain antibacterial components, therefore, in case of infection of the oral mucosa, before using solcoseryl, it is necessary to carry out a preventive medicinal “cleansing” in order to eliminate the causative agent of the infection and relieve inflammatory symptoms.

Solcoseryl gel for topical use is easily washed off from wound surfaces, because... does not contain fats as excipients. It promotes the formation of young connective (granulation) tissue and the resorption of exudate. From the moment fresh granulations form and the affected areas dry out, it is recommended to use solcoseryl in the form of an ointment, which, unlike the gel, already contains fats that form a protective film on the wound.

How to use it correctly

To achieve maximum effect, you must carefully follow the instructions. As mentioned above, for the treatment of oral diseases it is best to use dental adhesive paste:

• You must first treat the gums with Miramistin or Chlogexidine.
• Using a bandage, lightly dry the mucous membrane.
• Squeeze a small amount of Solcoseryl (the size of a pea) onto your finger.
• Apply the paste to the desired area using rubbing movements.
• Try not to eat or drink for an hour.
• Repeat the procedure 3-4 times a day.

The drug has a powerful wound-healing effect; you can see the first results literally within a day.
