The experiment discovered the decrease of the values of the digital indicators of the hygiene index of Green – Vermillion, gingival PMA index, and the bleeding index of Muhleman and Son in all groups during the whole period. These changes of the values of the indices were accompanied with the simultaneously increase in the values of a cleansing effect, anti-inflammatory and hemostatic efficiency. Conclusions. Toothpastes «А» and «В» are treatment-and-prophylactic toothpastes, acting effectively on the tissues and organs of the oral cavity with prolonged use.
