Reviews
Vladimir Fedorovich, Moscow. As an experienced dentist, I have been prescribing Maraslavin to my patients for quite some time. I consider the local remedy especially valuable for the treatment of chronic periodontal disease with purulent exudate. Therapy helps prevent surgery.
Yuri, Vladivostok. I had bad breath, I struggled with the problem for a long time, I used expensive toothpastes and magic elixirs for rinsing, but there was no effect. And then the dentist discovered periodontal disease. Therapy with Maraslavin saved me not only from bad breath, but also from tooth mobility. Thanks to the author of the wonderful remedy, and to the dentist for the correct treatment.
Katerina, Novosibirsk. After removing the tartar, the doctor prescribed rinsing with Maraslavin three times a day. I bought one bottle for the course, it was enough, but I had to suffer from the terrible taste of the solution, I remembered it for a long time. However, this is a small price to pay for recovery.
Oleg, Peter. I became friends with Maraslavin during the eruption of my wisdom teeth. To reduce pain and inflammation, the dentist prescribed rinses for me. I diluted the suspension in water according to the instructions and rinsed my mouth after eating. I had to put up with the unpleasant smell, but the treatment was short-lived. Now I use the product for preventive purposes so that my gums no longer become inflamed.

How to be treated correctly with Maraslavin
It is important to use “Maraslavin” only in accordance with the instructions, and also under the close supervision of a doctor, even though it is over-the-counter. The drug is used in medical practice in different ways.
For mouth rinses
Place a few tablespoons of the solution in your mouth and rinse your mouth thoroughly. You can rinse for as long as you have patience. Repeatability – up to 4-5 times a day.
Often used for rinsing
For applications
You need to moisten a cotton sponge in the composition, apply it to the affected areas of the mucous membrane, and leave for up to 15 minutes. You also need to repeat the procedure 4-5 times a day.
For the rehabilitation of gum pockets
In this case, the application is applied directly by the doctor in the dental office. First, the specialist removes bacterial deposits from the periodontal pockets, and then places tampons soaked in Maraslavin into them. In some cases, the doctor may leave the tampon on for a day, but more often he sequentially applies applications with fresh liquid every 5-10 minutes for 5-6 times. In this way, it is necessary to carry out a whole complex of treatment measures, consisting of 15-20 procedures (usually the medicine is given at intervals, so the treatment is extended over 3-6 months).
The photo shows the sanitation of gum pockets
The final assessment of the result of such treatment will be possible only 12 months after the start of using the drug. Yes, this is a long period of time, but periodontitis and periodontal disease, especially in advanced stages, cannot be cured quickly and permanently without the use of drastic measures (for example, tooth extraction and implantation).
To prevent gum disease
Here it will be enough to dilute a few tablespoons of “Maraslavin” in a glass of water and use this solution as a mouth rinse. You can do the procedure up to 4-5 times a day, but it is better to consult a doctor first.
Remember that an opened bottle of the drug cannot be stored for a long time; if you haven’t used it within one month, you can safely throw it away and buy a fresh one if necessary!
Solution for topical use Maraslavin
Instructions for medical use of the drug
Description of pharmacological action
Combined herbal preparation for local use in dentistry. It has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, astringent, local irritant and analgesic effects, improves tissue regeneration. At the beginning of the course of treatment, the use of the drug causes irritation, hyperemia and swelling of the gum mucosa. The hypertonic solution of Maraslavin helps remove toxic decay products from the gum pockets. Then an increase in the number of collagen fibers is observed, the gum tissue becomes denser, a new epithelium is formed, the normal structure of the gums is restored and the bond between the periodontium and the cement of the tooth root is strengthened. When treating the hemorrhagic form of periodontal disease, first there is a decrease in swelling and bleeding of the gums, the color of the gums becomes pale and then pale pink, the structure of the gums becomes denser, the gingival papillae become thinner and are gradually pressed against the neck of the tooth at the subenamel-cementum border. Gum pockets shrink or disappear. With the purulent form of periodontal disease, in the first days there is an increase in the amount of purulent exudate, then gradually its amount decreases until it disappears completely. The gingival papillae are absorbed, the edges of the gums are leveled and pressed tightly against the teeth. Stabilization of tooth mobility occurs.
Indications for use
Periodontal disease (including hemorrhagic with alveolar pockets, pyorrheic), postoperative period during surgical treatment of periodontal disease.

Use during pregnancy
Data on the use of the drug during pregnancy and lactation are not provided.
Contraindications for use
- hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.
Side effects
Possible: allergic reactions. When tampons are tightly applied, low-grade fever is possible due to a violation of the outflow of purulent exudate, which disappears on its own after removing the tampons.
Directions for use and doses
Locally. Treatment is carried out by a dentist and begins with the removal of supragingival tartar. At the same time, measures are taken to ventilate the gum pockets with a spray or a stream of warm water. Then Maraslavin® is installed using loose cotton swabs into the alveolar and bone pockets using a probe. To do this, pour 20–25 ml of Maraslavin® into a glass vessel, with which cotton swabs are generously moistened (their size depends on the width of the alveolar or bone pocket). The tampons are left in the pockets for 5–6 minutes, and during this time the tampons are placed on the other side of the teeth or in the pockets of adjacent teeth. This procedure is repeated 5-6 times in one session (sequentially in each pocket). With each tampon change, it penetrates easier and deeper into the alveolar pocket. The last tampons are left loosely in the pockets, the patient is released until the next day with the recommendation to remove the tampons himself in case of fever (due to purulent exudation) or other health problems and to consult a dentist. At the second treatment session, the tampons left after the first visit are removed and subgingival tartar is removed. Sequentially insert several tampons into each pocket as in the first session. The last tampons are also left in place for 24 hours if possible. Treatment is carried out at intervals for 3 months. 17–20 treatment sessions should be carried out using the method described above, depending on the degree of the disease and the patient’s condition. It is necessary that the first 5-6 sessions are carried out with an interval of 24 hours. The following courses of treatment are prescribed by the dentist. After 5–6 months after the end of treatment, a follow-up examination of the patient is carried out. Regardless of the condition of the gums, 1-2 procedures (if necessary more) are performed to treat the same places on the alveoli with Maraslavin® in order to eliminate possible microbial causative agents of the process. The final examination is carried out 12 months after the start of treatment.

What are the contraindications
Apart from individual intolerance to the components of the drug and the age of patients under 18 years of age, the manufacturer does not identify any group of patients for whom treatment with the drug is completely contraindicated. The use of the drug does not cause any negative reactions, does not affect the enamel and dentin of the teeth, does not cause harm to the body and cannot cause intoxication or overdose (unless, of course, you swallow the liquid, which is generally contraindicated).
There are also no clear contraindications for pregnant women and those women who are breastfeeding small children. It is only said that no reliable studies have been conducted on these groups of patients, therefore the advisability of treatment with the solution should be determined based on the individual clinical situation.
When is rinsing prescribed?
A course of use of Maraslavin, which has an astringent and antiallergic effect, is prescribed by the dentist after surgery for periodontal disease. In addition, rinsing the mouth with a healing herbal liquid is indicated for inflammatory gum diseases.
Hemorrhagic form of periodontal disease
The course of the pathology is accompanied by severe bleeding of the gums, their swelling and pain, which leads to the development of tooth mobility. The disease is characterized by the appearance of shallow gum pockets with scant exudate and subgingival dental deposits.
How do rinses with Maraslavin work:
- pain in the gums decreases;
- the amount of swelling is minimized;
- profuse bleeding stops.
The use of a natural solution of Maraslavin for rinsing the mouth allows you to return the gums to their natural size, ensuring tight contact of the gingival papillae with the plane of the tooth neck. The result is the partial or complete disappearance of gingival cavities, which threaten the development of a purulent process.
Pyorrheic type of periodontal disease
The development of a purulent form (alveolar pyorrhea) is characterized by the appearance of a large number of pockets filled with pus with an abundance of subgingival deposits. Under the influence of the combined composition of the drug Maraslavin, the volumes of purulent discharge initially increase, but continued therapy leads to a decrease in the production of exudate until it completely disappears.
Warning
Reducing the volume of pus leads to an improvement in the condition, accompanied by a decrease in pain, tissue regeneration, and the oral mucosa takes on a healthy appearance. However, the instructions for use of Maraslavin warn about the possibility of side effects due to impaired outflow of pus from the alveolar cavity. The situation may be accompanied by the appearance of low-grade fever when the lotions with the medicine fit tightly. The symptom of low-grade fever disappears with the removal of tampons.
Placement of tampons is contraindicated in case of an abundance of purulent masses and a progressive abscess. Children under 14 years of age are not treated with Maraslavin; it would be safer for pregnant and lactating women to refrain from using natural medicine.
The possibility of allergies should not be ruled out. The appearance of its symptoms is a fact of the individual reaction of the patient’s body to the components of the healing agent. There is no information in dental practice about an overdose of a locally used drug.
Rules to follow for the effectiveness of treatment with Maraslavin
When using this drug, doctors advise patients to also follow a set of measures at home so that the treatment goes well.
First, you need to impose restrictions on your diet. To avoid further injury to your gums and to allow them to recover as quickly as possible, eat mostly soft, non-spicy, non-salty, not too hot or cold foods. Conversely, introduce foods rich in vitamins A and C into your diet.
After the procedure you need to take soft, warm food
Secondly, during the period of treatment with the solution (especially in cases where it is placed in periodontal pockets), it is undesirable to use a brush and paste, as well as mouth rinses; it will only be enough to rinse your mouth thoroughly with warm or cool water.
Reviews about the drug
“My grandmother was prescribed Maraslavin by her dentist for the treatment of purulent periodontal disease. The doctor herself put the medicine in, at first only at the appointment, then sent her home with it (placed tampons in the periodontal pockets for 24 hours). But one day my grandmother’s temperature began to rise and everything in her mouth began to hurt. We read in the instructions for use that this can happen if the pus does not drain well due to the tight fit of the tampons and you just need to remove them. This is what the doctor did the next day. Despite this small minus, the grandmother endured the long period of treatment quite easily; during the entire period we bought the solution 3-4 times. In principle, its price is not that high, so there were no special expenses.”
Elya@1986, review from correspondence from the woman.ru forum
“It didn’t suit me at all, because... Irritation of the gums immediately began, the mucous membranes swollen, and there was terrible itching. Therefore, I don’t believe those who say that there are practically no reactions to this cute and harmless drug!”

How the drug works
"Maraslavin" effectively relieves acute inflammation and also prevents the occurrence of allergic reactions. It acts as a local anesthetic, thereby facilitating the patient’s condition and speeding up therapy. Regular rinsing with this product cleanses the oral tissues of microbial plaque and purulent plaques.
The drug also stimulates regenerative processes in tissues and increases the density of collagen fibers. The active components in its composition activate the growth and compaction of the epithelial layer of gingival tissue, due to which the natural restoration of the oral mucosa occurs1.
Before using the product, you should carefully read the instructions. There you can also find special instructions regarding the use of the drug:
- in the first stages of therapy, an increase in the inflammatory process, the appearance of swelling and irritation may be observed,
- relief of the condition will come after the gum pockets are completely cleansed of toxic deposits, and this will be followed by rapid healing of the mucous membrane,
- with prolonged use, gum bleeding decreases, the mucous membrane becomes denser and adheres better to the cervical area of the teeth.
The drug relieves gum inflammation well
“When I had bad breath, I first tried to remove it with different pastes and rinses. Nothing really helped. I thought there was something wrong with my stomach, and then I went to the dentist and it turned out that it was all about deposits under the gums. I didn't even notice them in the mirror. We diagnosed the initial stage of periodontitis. I underwent ultrasonic cleaning and was prescribed rinsing with Maraslavin. After about a week, a little less, your gums began to look much better. The smell is completely gone."
Yuri, from correspondence on the forum www.32top.ru
Rinsing with the solution protects against further spread of infection, helps to reduce gum pockets and level the gum level. "Maraslavin" also prevents the appearance of pathological mobility of teeth and their loss.
