This study compares how well a miswak (a natural chewing stick) and a regular toothbrush remove plaque buildup around orthodontic braces. If you wear braces, this trial tests whether miswak might be an equally effective cleaning option.
This study tests whether using miswak chewing sticks (a traditional natural stick) can reduce inflammation markers in people with moderate gum disease. Researchers will measure specific proteins in your gum fluid and cells to see if miswak helps your gums heal.
This study compares the effect of a natural teeth-cleaning stick called Miswak to standard fluoride toothpaste on teeth affected by Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH), a condition that causes spots on the enamel. The goal is to see which is better at managing the condition for children ages 6-12.
This trial tests whether using a probiotic toothpaste can improve gum health in people with gum disease (periodontitis). It may help reduce inflammation and slow bone loss.
This trial tests a special mouthwash (chlorhexidine) to see how well it prevents gum inflammation. It compares a standard version to one that also reduces tooth staining. You may be eligible if you are healthy, do not smoke, and have at least 24 teeth with healthy gums.
This trial tests whether a mouthwash made from black mulberry (Morus nigra) can help treat gingivitis (gum inflammation). If you have gum disease but not advanced gum disease, you may be able to join for about 2 weeks of using the mouthwash along with regular brushing.
