Shine a light on gum disease: home device aims to zap harmful bacteria

NCT ID NCT05278416

Summary

This study tested a special light device for home use, designed to help control chronic gum disease. The device uses a mouth rinse that sticks to plaque, then a light activates it to kill bacteria, potentially reducing inflammation and bleeding gums. Researchers wanted to see if this regular home treatment could improve gum health for adults with mild to moderate periodontitis.
