Could a simple mouthwash boost gum disease healing?

This study tests whether adding a special anti-inflammatory mouthwash to a deep-cleaning procedure helps heal advanced gum disease better than the cleaning alone. About 20 adults with severe gum disease will be randomly assigned to use either the active mouthwash or a placebo for six months. Researchers will measure gum pocket depth, take saliva and blood samples, and track healing to see if the combination works better.
