New mouthrinse could speed healing after tooth extraction
NCT ID NCT07611123
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a bioactive mineral mouthrinse helps gums heal faster and reduces pain after a tooth extraction. 94 healthy adults who needed a simple tooth removal were randomly assigned to use either the bioactive rinse, a standard antiseptic rinse (chlorhexidine), or salt water. Researchers measured healing and pain levels over a week to see if the new rinse offers any advantage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bioactive mineral-ionic mouthrinse (Theravex Total Oral Care Plus)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a gentler alternative to standard mouthrinses for improving healing and reducing pain after tooth extraction.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 94 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The mouthrinse may not outperform existing options like chlorhexidine.
