Bromelain gel vs. chlorhexidine for gum disease treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests if a gel made from bromelain (a pineapple enzyme) works as well as a standard antibiotic gel to treat gum pockets caused by periodontitis. It may offer a gentler option for patients with moderate gum disease.
