Better living through chemistry? A randomized, double‐blind controlled study evaluating the efficacy of plaque control and gingival health impacts of a novel stannous fluoride‐containing gel
Abstract
Gingivitis is a nonspecific inflammatory lesion in response to the accumulation of oral biofilm and is a necessary precursor to periodontitis. Enhanced oral hygiene practices are necessary to reverse gingivitis and a dentifrice that could provide significant clinical reductions in plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation would be desirable to treat gingivitis and potentially prevent progression to periodontitis. This clinical study aimed to investigate the effect of a novel stannous fluoride‐containing dentifrice with 2.6% ethylenediamine tetra‐acetic acid (EDTA) as an antitartar agent to reduce Plaque Index (PI) and Gingival Index over a 3‐month study period.
