Fulvic acid is a natural organic matter containing multiple active groups, which is widely found in soil, peat, and weathered coal. It has been used in medical treatment since the 1950s, mainly for external use, and is called medical fulvic acid. It is believed that medical fulvic acid has anti-inflammatory and detoxifying effects. This article systematically describes the clinical application of medical fulvic acid in the human oral cavity and the use of medical fulvic acid.
I. Clinical application of medical fulvic acid in the human oral cavity
1. Applicable diseases
(1) Periodontal disease and periodontal surgery;
(2) Oral mucosal diseases, such as oral ulcers, dry mouth syndrome, and herpetic stomatitis;
(3) Treatment of apical fistula;
(4) Hemostasis after tooth extraction surgery and replantation of traumatic dislocated teeth;
(5) As a component of periodontal plug treatment;
(6) Other oral diseases, such as mumps, head and facial infections, etc. 2. Usage of medical fulvic acid
(1) Oral gargle
The concentration of medical fulvic acid as an oral gargle is 0.5-4%. It is mostly used before various oral surgeries. It is also used as an auxiliary treatment for gingivitis, oral ulcers and periodontal disease.
(2) Irrigating agent
The concentration of medical fulvic acid irrigating agent is generally higher than that of oral gargle. It is mostly used for apical fistula irrigation, pericoronal and periodontal irrigation, and debridement and irrigation of various minor oral surgeries. It has astringent, hemostatic and anti-infective effects.
(3) Cauterizing agent
Medical fulvic acid is often prepared into a viscous state when used as a cauterizing agent. It is commonly used for:
①Sprinkled on oral ulcers: cauterize the ulcer surface for 1 minute;
②Hemostasis of tooth extraction wounds and other bleeding sites in the oral cavity;
③Root and bone surface treatment agent in periodontal surgery.
