First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Active substance
Livfresh Dental Gel (test toothpaste)
What this could lead to
If it works, this gel could become a simple at-home addition to standard gum disease treatment, helping reduce deep gum pockets and improve oral health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 76 people. The gel may not provide extra benefit over standard care, and results may not apply to everyone with gum disease.
