Active clinical trials for "Gingivitis"

The objective of this clinical research study is to evaluate clinical efficacy of Colgate Total Toothpaste as compared to Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste and Crest Pro-Health Mouthwash, and Crest Cavity Protection Toothpaste and Crest Fluoride Mouthwash in reducing gingivitis and dental plaque in adults in a six-week clinical study.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficacy of 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate as a chemical adjuvant for the treatment of peri-implant mucositis in single implants compared with homologous teeth with gingivitis, in a non-surgical treatment protocol with a six-month follow-up.

The oral cavity is mostly influenced by general health. The oral microbiota which is as complex as the gastro-intestinal or vaginal microbiota are considered to be difficult therapeutic targets. The effects of probiotics in different fields of health care have resulted recently in the introduction of probiotics for oral healthcare. Probiotics have been clinically proved effective in different fields of oral healthcare such as halitosis, oral candidiasis and tooth decay. They have also been inducted in the field of periodontal healthcare because of the current views on the etiology of plaque- related periodontal inflammation.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether rinsing with an amine fluoride/stannous flouride mouthrinse in addition to daily tooth brushing is more effective than tooth brushing alone.

In a previous study the prevention of halitosis by the herbal formula and delivery system (SmellX), were established both in vitro and clinicaly. The duration of relief was established as long as 8 hours. In this study the investigators intend examine the day long efficacy of SmellX.

Cleaning the mouth is difficult in critically ill patients who require support from a breathing machine (ventilator). This is because the plastic (endotracheal) tube which is a necessary interface between patient and ventilator impedes cleaning. New evidence suggests that poor oral health may be linked to ventilator associated pneumonia. Throughout the world both toothbrushes and foam swabs are used to clean the teeth and remove dental plaque, however it is unknown if one method is more effective than the other. The purpose of this study is to establish which (if any) method is most effective at removing plaque in this population of patients.

Mouthwash based on medicinal plants and propolis can be easily found in the Brazilian market even if it has not been tested in reliable clinical trials on its efficacy or possible unpleasant side effects like the ones which alter the hard and soft oral tissues. The aim of this study was to obtain preliminary evidence of efficacy of an alcohol-free mouthwash containing 5% green propolis (MGP 5%) on the control of plaque and gingivitis. Were chosen twenty-five subjects that are UFMG employees and individuals who would begin treatment on an extension project called Supportive Periodontal Therapy at the Faculty of Dentistry of Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, from August to December 2009. The subjects went through a dental prophylaxis before starting rinse. They were then instructed to rinse twice a day for a minute, immediately after brushing (morning and night), using the 10 ml of the MGP 5%. After 45 and 90 days using the product the individuals returned for a clinical evaluation which considered changes in the soft and hard oral tissues and involved collecting plaque and gingivitis indexes. On their last appointment the subjects answered a questionnaire about their level of appreciation and acceptability of the mouthwash. Compliance with the treatment was also evaluated through an attendance form. For the statistic analysis we used BioEstat 4.0 and Excel 2007.

This is a triple-blinded randomized clinical trial to evaluate the effect of an Iranian traditional mouth rinse (Punica granatum Pleniflora or "Golnaar" mouthrinse) on treatment of diabetic gingivitis and compare it with chlorhexidine (0.2%).

To determine if flossing with a dental floss presoaked in chlorhexidine, an anti-microbial mouth wash, would improve the clinical signs of gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums characterized by red, swollen, bleeding gums. And to determine if applying chlorhexidine via dental floss would result in tooth staining, which is common with chlorhexidine mouthwashes.

The purpose of this study is to determine the minimal number of patches needed to get an effective response. Patients enrolled in the study will be given 1, 2, 3 or 4 patches in a cycle by the order they enter the study. After the first 20 patients [5 cycles], the effect of the number of patches will be tested. If there is no distinct reduction of beta glucuronidase in the GCF or of gingival index at the tested sites, more patients will be enrolled. Patients will be added one cycle at a time with results being tested and analyzed. The enrollemnts of patients will stop when a dose response will be noticed or 15 cycles have been reached.
