Trial summary

The aim of the present study was to compare antiplaque effectiveness of two commercial mouthrinses: 0.12 % Chlorhexidine alcohol base (CLX-A) versus a diluted 0.1% Chlorhexidine non-alcohol base with 0.1% of Formaldehyde (CLX-F). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Chlorhexidine Alcohol Base Mouthrinse Versus Chlorhexidine Formaldehyde Base Mouthrinse Efficacy on Plaque Control: Double Blind, Randomized Clinical Trials

The aim of the present study was to compare antiplaque effectiveness of two commercial mouthrinses: 0.12 % Chlorhexidine alcohol base (CLX-A) versus a diluted 0.1% Chlorhexidine non-alcohol base with 0.1% of Formaldehyde (CLX-F).

Read the detailed description

Chlorhexidine (CLX) mouthrinse has been the gold standard as antiplaque solution.However, if its efficiency seems to be preserved even if the chlorhexidine concentration is bellow 0.10%, the formulation of the final product may affect the effectiveness. Thus, it can be concluded from this study that 0.12% CLX alcohol base mouthrinse is significantly more effective in inhibiting plaque than the diluted 0.1% CLX non-alcohol base containing formaldehyde mouthrinse.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Plaque Index (PI)at Day 1 and Day 7.

    The clinical trial lasted 7 days (from Day 0 to Day 7). During this period all participants abstained from all mechanical oral hygiene procedures.

    On Day 0, subjects were randomly distributed in three groups: two test groups and one negative control group, and were instructed to rinse twice daily with the allocated mouthrinse during the experimental period.

    The clinical measurement: Plaque Index (PI) was recorded on Day 1 and Day 7.

    Measured: one week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Side effects

    On Day 7, all subjects were examined for the presence or absence of tooth staining, and were questioned about taste disturbances and mucosal sensitivities.

    Measured: at day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Synthodont and Soludent in people with Dental Plaque, run by Hôpital Militaire De Rabat at 1 site in Morocco.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Morocco. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Plaque Index (PI)at Day 1 and Day 7. (time frame: one week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
