Abstract
Relevance: therapeutic tactics at infectious inflammatory conditions of oral and pharyngeal mucosae includes prescription of the drugs featuring antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and analgesic action. A combination of tyrothricin (antibacterial agent), benzocaine (topical anesthetic agent) and benzalkonium chloride (antiseptic) has been in use in clinical practice for years. The study was aimed at comparing the clinical efficacy of the drug based on the listed active substances and other stomatological agents in adolescents with aphthous stomatitis. Results: comparable efficacy of the drugs under study has been observed. No side effects have been observed within the period of the drug’s use. A possibility to use one drug for treatment facilitates oral care and improves compliance of patients.
