Moringa mouthwash vs chlorhexidine for gum health
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a moringa (herbal) mouthwash works as well as chlorhexidine mouthwash to improve gum inflammation caused by dental plaque. It may help people with plaque-related gingivitis who also have a higher risk of tooth decay.
