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.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could provide a new, antibiotic-free mouthwash option to help control plaque and gum inflammation after standard dental cleanings.
