Official title
Comparing Chlorhexidine Gluconate Rinse, Sodium Fluoride Rinse, Water Rinse, and Chewing Gum in Regard to Streptococcus Mutans Reduction
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study compared four mouth rinses/chews for their ability to reduce Streptococcus Mutans after usage. The four that were compared were chlorhexidine gluconate (0.12%), sodium fluoride (0.05%), paraffin wax chewing gum (sugar free), and deionized water. The paraffin wax chewing gum replaced the originally planned coconut oil and served as a placebo comparator.
