Gel “Solcoseryl” dental is used in clinical medicine as a stimulator of regenerative processes in tissues and in order to normalize metabolic processes in them.
Regardless of the form of release of the medicinal product, it includes dialysate, purified from protein, which is made from the blood of dairy calves under the age of 3 months. As a result of this, a medication is obtained, which is based on crushed particles of the active substance, due to which the process of cellular metabolism begins to activate.
Adverse reactions in the form of an allergy to proteins are usually absent. The dialysate contains: nucleosides, amino acids, glycoproteins and other low molecular weight compounds.
Gel "Solcoseryl" dental is used as a means of creating a protective layer on the affected mucous membranes of the oral cavity, protecting it from mechanical or chemical influences throughout the entire duration of the therapeutic effect.
The composition and form of the drug
The 10% gel used in dentistry is made in metal or synthetic tubes with a volume of 20 grams. The shelf life of the drug is 5 years. Storage - at room temperature.
Gel "Solcoseryl" dental is a transparent gel with a dense texture, which has a characteristic smell of beef broth. In 1 gram of the drug, 4.15 mg of blood dialysate is present. In addition to this element, the gel contains:
- preservatives - propyl parahydroxybenzoate E 216 and methyl parahydroxybenzoate E 218;
- additional components: calcium lactate, propylene glycol, distilled water, carboxymethyl cellulose.
Pharmacological properties
Gel "Solcoseryl" dental is considered one of the best stimulants of tissue regeneration. It has the following properties:
- normalizes the processes of anaerobic (oxygen) metabolism;
- stimulates the accumulation of energy in cellular mitochondria, which is produced during oxidation;
- supports the flow of nutrients and oxygen into cells;
- restores tissues, including after chemical influences and oxygen starvation;
- reduces the likelihood of pathological changes at the cell level;
- increases the production of collagen and fibroblasts, which serve as a building material for connective tissue.
Indications for appointment
As indicated by the instructions for the Solcoseryl Dental Gel, the high concentration of dialysate and its ability to form a protective layer above the surface of the lesions allows the use of this dental gel when treating wet and fresh wounds before starting the healing process.
This drug removes the lymphatic fluid that comes out of the tissue and speeds up the process of building connective granulation tissue, which replaces the damaged tissue. In dentistry, the Solcoseryl gel adhesive is prescribed in the treatment of pathologies of the mucous membrane of the gums and oral cavity. They process it:
- postoperative wounds;
- erosion and ulcers in the oral cavity;
- pressure sores under partial and complete dentures;
- weeping lesions on the skin of the face and lips;
- damage to the mucous membrane obtained from a chemical, mechanical or temperature action;
- injuries that were formed from the contact of the mucous membrane with fillings and dentures.
Mode of application
According to the instructions, the Solcoseryl Dental Gel should be applied directly to the wound in a small volume. Before this, it is recommended to clean the affected surface from secretions and dead tissue and treat it with a swab moistened with an antiseptic solution and rinse your mouth. For such manipulations, it is recommended to use a special antibacterial rinse or chlorhexidine or miramistin solutions. After treatment, the area of the mucosa should be blotted with a dry cotton swab. On a dry surface, the gel will stay better, which means that its action will be more effective.
What should be the use of Solcoseryl gel? The drug is used 2-3 times a day after meals and at bedtime. It is important during the period of therapeutic measures to observe oral hygiene.
When treating pressure sores under dentures, the disinfection of the removable denture itself is mandatory. After performing hygienic procedures, the dental gel is applied to the prosthesis in areas of greatest friction and pressure.
The jaw should remain in the mouth until the next meal. The formation of pressure sores is a serious reason for visiting an orthopedist and prosthesis correction.
On the skin of the lips and face
On the skin of the lips and face, this medication gel is recommended to be used only with the formation of weeping wounds. When they dry, it is recommended to switch to the use of the ointment of this medication. The fat elements contained in it form a protective film on the wound and contribute to its healing.
There is currently no information on overdose when using any dosage forms of this medication. Does not interact with other medicines for internal or external use.
The instructions for use with the Solcoseryl dental gel confirm this.
Limitations and contraindications
This pharmacological drug is not recommended for patients who have previously experienced allergic reactions to components from its composition. Allergy in this case can manifest itself in the form of dermatitis, urticaria, redness of the affected surface. Caution should also be exercised in the presence of hypersensitivity to substances.
Burning after applying the medication for a short period of time is normal, in case of prolonged unpleasant sensation, the medicine must be removed and subsequently replaced with an analog agent.
Pregnancy is not considered an obstacle to the use of the dental product "Solcoseryl". Scientific tests have not revealed a negative effect on the developing fetus.
Due to the lack of antiviral and antibacterial elements in the product, the gel is not recommended to be applied to an infected or contaminated wound. In the presence of purulent discharge from the wound, the focus of infection should be eliminated first by surgery.
Dental consultation
With the development of severe pain, redness or inflammation near the treated wound, as well as with the release of pathological fluid and fever, it is necessary to consult a dentist in the near future. The absence of a positive result after a two-week use of the Solcoseryl gel is also the basis for going to the doctor. The appearance of ulcers and wounds on the mucous surface of the oral cavity can mean the development of cancer.
Below we consider analogues of the Solcoseryl dental gel.

Dental gel "Solcoseryl" or paste - which is better?
Adhesive Dental Paste
According to the instructions, the adhesive toothpaste of this drug is used to treat diseases of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity. This tool effectively heals all kinds of ulcers, erosion, trauma in this area. Solcoseryl paste has a restorative, regenerative, protective, cytoprotective and antihypoxic effect. It is used to clean gums and teeth, has a brownish color, pasty consistency and a slightly pronounced mint aroma.
Which is better, the dental paste “Solcoseryl” or gel is difficult to solve.
The composition of this agent includes deproteinized standardized dialysate from the blood of dairy calves, polydocanol 600, lauromacrogol 400, preservatives (methyl parahydroxybenzoate and propyl parahydroxybenzoate) and auxiliary elements (peppermint oil, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, menthol). The basis of the paste: gelatin, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, pectin, liquid paraffin, polyethylene 350 000.
This dental product is produced in 5 g aluminum tubes packed in cardboard boxes.
Pharmacological action of the paste
Dental paste "Solcoseryl" - a combined preparation for external use, a stimulator of tissue repair. It is a biologically and chemically standardized dialysate obtained by ultrafiltration.
The paste contains a wide range of natural low molecular weight compounds: nucleosides, glycolipids, nucleotides, oligopeptides, amino acids, electrolytes, trace elements, intermediate products of fat and carbohydrate metabolism. This tool activates oxygen transport at the cellular level, increases its consumption by cells, stimulates the production of ATP, enhances the proliferation of reversibly damaged structures, especially during hypoxia, accelerating wound healing. The drug stimulates angiogenesis, and also promotes revascularization of ischemic tissue, creates conditions favorable for the production of collagen and the development of new granulation tissue. The paste accelerates re-epithelialization and scarring of the wound, has a cytoprotective and membrane-stabilizing effect.
Polydocanol 600, which is part of the dental paste, is a local anesthetic that acts in the peripheral nerve zone, causing their reversible blocking. It has a prolonged analgesic effect. After application to the oral mucosa, the pain stops in about 2-5 minutes, and the anesthesia lasts for 3-5 hours.
The adhesive dental paste “Solcoseryl” forms a protective layer on the affected areas of the mucous membrane and protects it from chemical and mechanical damage for several hours, acting as a medical dressing.
Which is better - paste or gel?
These dosage forms of the drug "Solcoseryl", according to dentists, are equally good. Moreover, with their simultaneous use, the greatest positive effect is achieved, which is due to the complex effect of these dental products. This helps to constantly preserve the healing film on the affected surface, which protects the wounds from external influences. Therefore, to say that one remedy is better than another is impractical.
