NCT ID NCT07031388
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested four different mouthwashes—hydrogen peroxide with hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid alone, chlorhexidine, and a placebo—in 80 healthy adults aged 18 to 35 with mild gum inflammation. Participants used their assigned rinse twice daily for three weeks. The goal was to see which one best reduced gum inflammation, plaque, and bleeding. Results could help people choose an effective mouthwash to manage gingivitis and prevent it from progressing.
