Active clinical trials for "Gingivitis"

Influence of CPP-ACP paste on the evolution and appearance of white spot lesions in orthodontic patients after removal of the fixed appliances.

This is a randomized, controlled, examiner-blind, parallel group, four week clinical study comparing brushing plus flossing to brushing alone in healthy adults with mild-to-moderate gingivitis.

This study evaluates the addition of an interdental cleaning device paired with a manual toothbrush compared to using a manual toothbrush only. Plaque removal, reduction of gingival bleeding and reduction of gingival inflammation.

The objective of this clinical trial is to identify the most efficacious octenidine dihydrochloride concentration regarding bacterial count reduction in comparison to a placebo in the oral cavity.

This study will determine if cannabidiol (CBD) has any effect on local inflammation in periodontal maintenance patients. Many successful therapies exist for the active, untreated periodontal patient. Unfortunately, periodontology has not yet discovered a therapy that will predictably treat local inflammation in patients who are at risk for further pocketing, bleeding on probing, bone loss and ultimately, tooth loss. Although CBD has been patented in various forms since the 1940s, its acceptance and availability to patients has only recently expanded. Marketing of CBD to periodontal patients as a means to control inflammation is commonplace online and in CBD-specific shops. In determining if CBD is a successful supplement to conventional periodontal inflammation control therapies, millions of patients could benefit from this treatment.

The purpose of the study is to test the antibacterial effect of Parodontax toothpaste on plaque formation, and thus gingivitis compared to placebo toothpaste. Each subject will be given 2 plastic splints that are individually adapted to their quadrant 1 and 2. In the splint in the 1st quadrant, Parodontax test toothpaste will be placed, while in the splint in the 2nd quadrant, regular toothpaste will be placed, which the subject uses daily. Each person's set of teeth is otherwise professionally cleaned.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of dentifrice formulations containing Centella asiatica and bamboo salt on gingivitis and dental plaque. Participants uses dentifrice which contains Centella asiatica and bamboo salt and the same participants will also use placebo for tooth brushing by cross-over design.

Objective: To compare clinical results of three types of manual tooth brushes on gingivitis and plaque removal efficacy. Material and Methods: This study is a single blind randomized trial with crossover design which involved 30 periodontally healthy individuals. At baseline professional plaque removal and oral hygiene instruction are performed for all the students, then they are asked to avoid brushing for 1-2 days. Thereafter plaque and gingivitis scores are measured using plaque and gingival indices (PI and GI). Then subjects are instructed to use Pulsar tooth brush for a two-week period and then, GI and PI indices are assessed again. After passing one-week period for wash out, subjects don't brush for 1-2 days and indices are recorded again. The same procedure are done for Cross action, and Butler 411 tooth brushes respectively.

The purpose of the investigators' study is to assess effectiveness of community based oral health literacy intervention promoting positive oral hygiene self-care behavior among Montreal's Punjabi immigrants.

Toothbrush plaque removal, along with interproximal flossing, helps to maintain the oral cavity free from periodontal diseases and dental caries. Although techniques such as the Bass Technique (BT), the Modified Bass Technique (MBT) and the Modified Stillman Technique (MST) are taught to dental students, dental hygiene students, and dental assistants, there is little evidence to discern which technique is more effective in reducing or preventing gingival inflammation. At Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (TUSDM), a modification of the Bass intrasulcular technique is advocated to many students. We call this modification of the Bass technique a Stationary Bristle Technique (SBT), which is an intrasulcular technique that maintains the toothbrush bristle ends essentially stationary on the tooth cervically and in the gingival crevice. In this study, half of the participants were taught the Stationary Bristle Technique Group, while the other half were not be provided with instructions, but asked to brush as normal (non-interventional group) throughout the duration of the study.
