NCT ID NCT07640399
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a stannous fluoride toothpaste can reduce gum inflammation, bleeding, and plaque better than a standard fluoride toothpaste. Over 12 weeks, 133 adults brushed with one of the two toothpastes and had their gums checked at several visits. The goal was to see if the special toothpaste leads to healthier gums.
