NCT ID NCT07270952

First seen Jan 10, 2026 · Last updated Apr 21, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tested whether a new herbal mouthwash and gel could reduce plaque and gum inflammation as effectively as the standard chlorhexidine treatment, which can cause side effects like tooth staining and taste changes. Researchers compared the two products in 34 healthy adults without gum disease. The goal was to see if the herbal option could provide similar benefits with fewer unwanted effects.
