Active clinical trials for "Dental Plaque"

The purpose of the study is to assess the effect of enzyme containing lozenges on dental plaque accumulation in healthy adults.

The objective of this clinical research study is to assess the efficacy of three oral hygiene multi-component regimens encompassing the use of a manual toothbrush, toothpaste and a mouthwash in controlling established dental plaque and gingivitis.

This study assessed the efficacy of an oral hygiene regimen relative to a standard marketed toothpaste and manual toothbrush.

This is a study to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of tooth and interproximal cleaning modalities on oral health.

Dental plaque is a well known etiologic factor for gingivitis. Recently, herbal extracts are a matter of scientific interest to inhibit plaque accumulation on teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of pistacia Mutica (PM) mouth wash on de novo dental plaque plaque formation, gingival inflammation indices and oral microorganisms.

Evaluate the efficacy of an oral rinse on dental plaque and gingival inflammation

The primary objective of this 6 month study is to compare the effectiveness of oral health promotion interventions on both clinical oral health, and oral opportunistic respiratory pathogens in institutionalized elders. Secondary objectives are to investigate changes in oral health-related quality of life, incidence of adverse side effects, pneumonia, as well as subject acceptability. Elders residing in nursing homes in Hong Kong will be recruited into the clinical trial. Patients will be randomly allocated into one of the following groups: 0.2% chlorhexidine spray, 0.1% pH-balanced chlorine dioxide spray, or sterile water spray (placebo control), once daily. Dental plaque, gingival bleeding, oral opportunistic respiratory pathogens, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), and pneumonia incidence will be assessed at baseline, 3 months and 6 months. Subject acceptability of the interventions will be assessed at the end of the clinical trial.

Myrrh-based mouthwash has the potential to be a suitable alternative to the gold standard chlorhexidine mouthwash for dental plaque and gingivitis reduction. To date, however, little research has been carried out to determine its true clinical significance on periodontal health. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the efficacy of 1% myrrh mouthwash with commercially available 0.2% chlorhexidine mouthwash in terms of plaque and gingivitis reduction and inflammatory mediator (interleukin-1β) inhibition.

Comparative study on the efficacy of two mouthwashes Containing Fatty Acids Compounds (F.A.G.) or Stannous Fluoride in the reduction of plaque score in individuals with spontaneous gengivitis

The rationale of our study is to compare the efficacy of natural honey base preparation with other commercially available mouthwashes i.e chlorhexidine base in prevention of dental plaque formation as honey is readily available and cost effective and organic in nature. This study will help to provide the data of our community and positive result may provide a new method of oral hygiene maintenance with fewer side effects. We will be able to deliver the best anti-plaque agent.
