New mouthwash formula aims to fight plaque on dental implants
NCT ID NCT06770114
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new mouthwash containing CPC, hyaluronic acid, and zinc lactate against a standard fluoride mouthwash. The goal was to see if it reduces plaque and prevents gum problems in adults with at least two dental implants. Eighty participants used the mouthwash for six months, and researchers measured gum inflammation and plaque levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mouthwash containing cetylpyridinium chloride, hyaluronic acid, and zinc lactate
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new option for people with dental implants to better control plaque and gum inflammation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed Phase 3 trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The improvement over standard fluoride mouthwash may be modest.
