First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study tests whether a blackberry extract mouthwash works as well as a standard antiseptic mouthwash (chlorhexidine) for treating gum disease. 48 adults with periodontitis will receive standard deep cleaning and then rinse with one of the mouthwashes or just plain water. Researchers will check gum health, inflammation, and bacteria levels over 3 months to see which approach works best.
