简要总结
Clinical study evaluating the effectiveness of an alcohol-free mouthwash containing CPC+Zn compared to dental flossing and an essential oils-containing alcohol mouthwash in reducing dental plaque and gingivitis. This is a Phase III, single-center, double-blind trial with a parallel design. It involves 120 participants aged between 18 and 65, randomized into different groups, and spans 12 weeks.
详细描述
This clinical study aims to evaluate the efficacy of an alcohol-free mouthwash containing CPC (Cetylpyridinium Chloride) and Zinc (Zn) in reducing dental plaque and gingivitis compared to dental flossing and a mouthwash with essential oils in an alcohol base. It is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial involving 120 participants aged 18 to 65. Subjects will be divided into three groups-one using the CPC+Zn mouthwash, another using the essential oils mouthwash, and a control group using dental floss. Each group will also use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristle toothbrush twice daily over 12 weeks. The primary efficacy variable is the reduction of gingival inflammation also Probing Depth, Bleeding on Probing, and a Plaque Index will be accessed. Subjects will undergo baseline, 4-week, and 12-week evaluations, with data analyzed using ANCOVA to assess the efficacy and safety of the products. Adverse events and compliance will be closely monitored, with strict confidentiality maintained for all participants. The study rigorous design aims to provide comprehensive insights into the effectiveness of these oral hygiene regimens.

盲法说明
In this clinical trial, masking involves several key roles to ensure unbiased results. The Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, and Outcomes Assessor are all masked in this double-blind study. This means that the participants do not know which group they have been assigned to, the care providers administering the treatments are unaware of the specific products being used by each participant, the investigators conducting the study do not know the group assignments, and the outcomes assessors evaluating the results are blind to the treatment allocations. This comprehensive masking approach is designed to minimize any potential biases and maintain the integrity of the study results.

结局指标
主要结局
Modified Gingival Index
时间窗: 12 weeks
The Modified Gingival Index (MGI) is a clinical assessment tool used to evaluate the severity of gingivitis by measuring the extent of gingival inflammation. It categorizes gingival health on a scale from 0 to 4, where 0 signifies normal gingiva with no inflammation, and 4 indicates severe inflammation characterized by erythema, edema, and spontaneous bleeding.
次要结局
- Turesky modification of Quigley-Hein Plaque Index(12 weeks)
- Bleeding on probing(12 weeks)
- Probing depth(12 weeks)
