When women with comorbid bacterial vaginosis visit periodontologist, it is essential to understand the presence of cross-infection processes between the oral cavity and vagina in this particular category of subjects. Conducting detection of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae, which are provocative microbial factors for bacterial vaginosis, is a mandatory step in the laboratory examination of subjects. When choosing an antiseptic for oral cavity disinfection, the use of 0.25% dequalinium chloride is more advisable. Both subjective and objective examination methods thoroughly demonstrate the higher clinical effectiveness of 0.25% dequalinium chloride: patients report a 20% more frequent improvement in subjective indicators, the index assessment of periodontal status improves by 1.2-1.6 times, and the detection rate of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae is by 20% lower compared to 0.2% chlorhexidine. The specific composition of oral microbiota in this group of subjects necessitates adjustments to treatment protocols and consideration of the specific impact on Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae.enAntisepticGardnerella vaginalisAtopobium vaginaeoral cavity disinfectionbacterial vaginosisArticle
