An interventional study of Essential oils mouthrinse and Delmopinol mouthrinse in Gingivitis and Dental Plaque Accumulation, sponsored by University of Lisbon. Completed at 1 site in Portugal. Open to participants aged 15 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2010-11-10.
Sponsored by University of Lisbon · Not applicable, Interventional, and Prevention
The use of mouthrinses may be of relevance as a complement to daily dental hygiene procedures, especially for patients who do not comply with a proper mechanical removal of dental plaque. Essential oils and delmopinol mouthrinses are effective to reduce dental plaque accumulation and gingivitis. Also an effect on dental bacteria can be found. The study hypothesis states that there are no differences between the mouthrinses on the reduction of gingivitis and dental plaque accumulation as well on the bacterial counts of Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.
