NCT ID NCT06770166
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial investigates whether a chamomile mouthwash can improve healing after impacted wisdom tooth extraction compared to standard rinses. Researchers will measure pain, mouth opening, burning sensation, swelling, and discoloration in 120 healthy adults. Participants will use either chamomile, chlorhexidine, or physiological serum mouthwash after surgery. The goal is to see if chamomile's natural anti-inflammatory properties offer a gentler alternative for recovery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Chamomile mouthwash (10% chamomile in physiological serum)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, chamomile mouthwash could become a natural, well-tolerated option to reduce pain, swelling, and discomfort after tooth extractions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to everyone. Chamomile could cause allergic reactions in some people, and it may not outperform standard mouthwashes.
