SmartMouth Advanced Clinical Formula Clinical Research Design Protocol

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Gingivitis, Periodontitis

In brief

The aim of this study is to provide evidence on the clinical efficacy of SmartMouth Advanced Clinical Formula mouthrinse in comparison to the efficacy of 0.12% chlorhexidine mouthrinse and a placebo mouthrinse. The placebo will be provided by the sponsor and will be identical to SmartMouth ACF (Advanced Clinical Formula), except it will not contain cetylpyridinium chloride, zinc chloride and sodium chlorite.
