Scientific novelty The article considers the key points of the dentist’s work, who in his practice uses the Latin recipe for the prevention of dental diseases. Prescription rules and effective prescriptions that are used for various dental purposes depending on the situation are considered. Most of the drugs used in dentistry affect not one, but several pathogenetic mechanisms. Therefore, in the course of treatment, they are used in a certain sequence. For example, with a pronounced microbial etiology, drugs that have the most pronounced effect on the microbial factor will be used first. Antibacterial therapy is prescribed to affect the opportunistic microflora of the oral cavity and, in particular, the periodontal pockets. Antibacterial agents include: antiseptics, antibiotics, sulfonamide preparations, nitrofurans, 8-nitroxoline derivatives, herbal preparations, antifungal and antiprotozoal preparations. Antiseptics are compounds that have a pronounced broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect. They interact with the proteins of microbial cells, cause their coagulation or other structural disturbances, which leads to the death or cessation of growth of microorganisms. Conclusions.
