Studying toothpaste and mouth rinse effects on gum inflammation
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have at least 18 natural teeth (not counting wisdom teeth).
- You must have gingivitis, which means your gums bleed when gently probed and show signs of inflammation.
- You must be in generally good health and not have conditions like diabetes or severe gum disease (periodontitis).
- You cannot smoke, vape, or use any tobacco or cannabis products.
- You cannot be taking certain medications like antibiotics, steroids, or anti-inflammatory drugs (except low-dose aspirin).
- If you are able to become pregnant, you must use birth control and not be pregnant or planning pregnancy.

This research study examines how dental plaque relates to gum inflammation in people with different levels of gum health. Researchers will collect plaque samples and measure gum health to better understand these patterns, which may help improve oral care products.
This study tests a toothpaste with stannous fluoride to see how it affects gum health by measuring certain markers in the fluid around the teeth. It may help reduce gum inflammation and improve oral hygiene.
This study tests a new toothpaste to see how well it removes plaque and reduces gum inflammation (gingivitis). If you have early gum problems, this may help improve your oral hygiene.
This trial tests a toothpaste for people with sensitive, inflamed gums (gingivitis). It looks at how well the toothpaste reduces gum bleeding and plaque.
This study tests whether a special antimicrobial mouthrinse can reduce plaque buildup and improve gum health over 6 months. If you have early gum disease (gingivitis) and are generally healthy, this trial may be a good fit.
This trial tests if taking a daily probiotic drink can help keep gums healthy in people without gum disease. You would be asked to stop using certain dental products during the study.
