Active clinical trials for "Dental Plaque"

This 6-month clinical study was designed to investigate clinical efficacy on plaque and gingivitis for the Meridol Base Mouthwash containing 0.2% zinc lactate, 0.17% amine fluoride and 0.0275% sodium fluoride as compared to a Negative Control Mouthwash containing 0.057% sodium fluoride after 3 and 6 months of product use.

This study evaluates if electric toothbrushes with a 3D action (rotation / oscillation and pulsation) are more effective than manual toothbrushes in removing plaque and reducing gingival inflammation in patients under orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of brushing with an electric toothbrush switched on and switched off in comparison to manual brushing for the removal of dental plaque in children aged four to 16 years with cerebral palsy.

Some probiotics have been shown to have preventive effects on infectious diseases and allergies. Because their long-term enhancement of the immune responses of children, they have been recommended for infants in some countries. The most promising ones seem to be the combination of Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. Probiotic microbes are mainly ingested orally and the gastrointestinal tract is thus the primary target organ for them. However, the mouth is the first part of the gastrointestinal tract. Most probiotics are in theory cariogenic, thus their effects on oral health should be known. Several probiotics decrease levels of salivary mutans streptococci (MS), but in other respects very little is known about their effects on the oral microbiota. Also effects of probiotics on dental plaque should be studied. This study aims to find out the effects of the combination of BB-12 and LGG, delivered with a lozenge (4 weeks, twice a day) with a mixture of them on the amount of plaque and gingival health

The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-plaque efficacy of the Anacor prototype dentrifice as compared to commercial control products following a single use of the dentrifice.

The aim of the present study was to compare antiplaque effectiveness of two commercial mouthrinses: 0.12 % Chlorhexidine alcohol base (CLX-A) versus a diluted 0.1% Chlorhexidine non-alcohol base with 0.1% of Formaldehyde (CLX-F).

Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX), as an anti plaque agent, is commonly used with a variety of products. In this study we, the investigators at Hadassah Medical Organization, intend to examine the efficacy of a single dip in CHX of provisional restoration prior to oral cementation. If the protocol is effective, we intend to calibrate it and recommend clinical use of the protocol. The examination of biofilm formation will be both with electron microscope and confocal scanning laser microscope.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of two new family-based oral health promotion programs with the routine program in use earlier in Vantaa public dental service. The children born in 2008 were followed from their first visit to public dental service at the age of 6-12 months to their dental examination at the age of 2-2½ years. The outcome measures are the colonization of mutans streptococci in dental plaque, dental caries, and the oral health habits of two-year-olds.

The purpose of this study was to compare the antiplaque efficacy of a 0,12% chlorhexidine and 0,05% cetyl-pyridinium chloride mouth rinse (Perio-aid®) with a 0,2% chlorhexidine non-alcohol base mouth rinse (Corsodyl Care®).

The objective of the study is to evaluate anti-plaque efficacy of a preventive treatment gel in a modified 4-day plaque model.
