NCT ID NCT00838266
First seen Jun 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether a mouthrinse made with red grape seed extract and a fluoride compound can reduce dental plaque. Fifty healthy volunteers used the rinse three times a day for four days without brushing. The trial was double-blind and cross-over, meaning each person tried both the active rinse and a placebo. Researchers measured plaque buildup and checked for side effects.
