Testing a toothbrush's bristles on plaque and gums
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares how well different toothbrush bristles remove plaque and affect gum health. It may help find the best toothbrush design for everyday oral care.

This trial tests a special toothbrush that cleans both sides of your teeth at once. It compares this new brush to a regular one to see if it improves gum health in dentists.
This study tests a new toothpaste to see if it reduces plaque (sticky film on teeth) and improves gum health, including bleeding. It may be an option for people with mild to moderate gum problems who are looking for an at‑home oral care product.
This trial tests a new water flosser (Bixdo Ultra Compact) to see if it safely improves gum health in people with moderate to severe gum disease. You would use the flosser at home and attend check-ups for about 4 weeks.
This study tests whether using a certain toothpaste and mouth rinse can reduce gum inflammation (gingivitis) better than brushing alone. It is for people with mild to moderate gum disease who have not used tobacco or certain medications recently.
