New mouthwash could fight gum disease without antibiotics

NCT ID NCT07402694

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a new mouthwash called Amphion can improve gum health when used after standard deep cleaning for periodontitis. Sixty adults with gum disease will receive either Amphion or a placebo mouthwash to use at home twice daily. The goal is to see if the mouthwash reduces plaque and gum bleeding better than cleaning alone.
