Filter by:- 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 this study is to learn if a chair-side testing device will accurately measure levels of a salivary biomarker and thus indicate if a patient has periodontal health, gingivitis or periodontal disease.
This study assessed the efficacy of an oral hygiene regimen relative to a standard marketed toothpaste and manual toothbrush.
The objective of this clinical research study is to assess the efficacy of a commercially available triclosan/copolymer toothpaste compared to a commercially available oral hygiene multi-component regimen encompassing the use of a manual toothbrush, a toothpaste containing stannous fluoride / sodium hexametaphosphate and a mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride relative to a negative control regimen in reducing established dental plaque and gingivitis over three and six months of assigned product use.
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 primary objective is to evaluate the safety of an investigational compound, BLXA4-ME, topically applied as a daily oral rinse in adults with gingivitis. Safety will be assessed by the incidence of adverse events, including mucosal inflammation and irritancy and findings from safety labs. Subjects will be monitored for development of periodontitis, and oral flora will be analyzed to detect an increase in opportunistic organisms. The secondary objective is to assess preliminary efficacy of the oral rinse, by monitoring changes in the plaque index (PI), modified gingival index (MGI), bleeding on probing (BOP) and levels of interleukin -1β (IL-1β) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). The study comprises three groups in a randomized, placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial design. The treatment group (1.0 μM BLXA4-ME oral rinse) and the placebo rinse group will each include 50 subjects. The no-rinse control group will consist of 25 subjects. Subjects in the treatment and placebo rinse groups will receive oral rinse (BLXA4-ME or placebo) to be applied once daily after morning teeth brushing. Safety parameters will be assessed before and after 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days of treatment. Efficacy parameters will be assessed before and after 14 and 28 days of treatment.
The aim of this project was to compare the effectiveness of experiential learning (EL) and traditional lecturing (TL) school-based oral health education on the oral health knowledge, attitude, habits, oral hygiene, gingival health and caries incidence of 10 and 13-year-old Greek children. Thee hundred and fifty children were selected from three areas of Greece. Information on oral health knowledge, attitude and behaviour were obtained using a questionnaire. Dental plaque was recorded using a modified hygiene index, gingivitis was assessed using the simplified gingival index and dental caries was measured by recording the number of Decayed, Missing and Filled teeth (DMFT) using the British Association for the Study of Community Dentistry (BASCD) criteria. All children were examined by two calibrated dentists, using a World Health Organisation (WHO) periodontal probe and artificial light. Questionnaires were delivered and clinical examinations were performed at baseline and at 6 and 18 months post-intervention. The EL oral health educational program was implemented by teachers using the program's manual.
The objective of the present study was to compare the anti-plaque and anti-gingivitis effects of a commercially available dentifrice containing 0.6% Ilicis Rotundae Cortex extract to those of a control dentifrice without any active ingredient in 12 weeks of home use.
There is a need for toothpastes that more effectively remove oral biofilm, inhibit biofilm re-formation and support periodontal health. This is particularly important for patients with long-term orthodontic fixtures or prosthodontic appliances, and also for debilitated, diabetic and immunocompromised patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of toothpastes on plaque presence and removal, gingival and periodontal health, dental hard tissue mineralization, erosion, abrasion, and microstructure as well as dry/sore mouth. In addition to clinical scoring and photographs, tooth and gum sensitivity, saliva volume, pH and buffering and enamel health may be evaluated using tooth samples worn on removable dental retainers. These samples will be examined outside of the mouth using advanced optical techniques such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Fluorescence, various forms of microscopy and spectroscopy.
The study has the objective to compare two different methodology of application the antiseptic on the oral biofilm will be formed during 48h in situ on a specific device. The first one using the immersion in the antiseptic solution, as much of the authors did in the past. And the second way doing a active mouthwash, as the manufacturer recommends. The study will compare two different antiseptic solutions, the chlorhexidine (0.2% Oraldine Perio) and the essential oils (Listerine Mentol) with the two different application and compared the bacterial vitality, thickness and covering grade between solutions and with a basal sample.
