Trial summary

About this study

Official title: Inhibition of de Novo Plaque Formation and Side Effects of Two New Mouthrinse Formulations: 0.12% and 0.03% Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Respectively, in a 4-day Non-brushing Model. A Triple-blind, Randomized Clinical Trial.

In the current study we tested the hypothesis that new 0.05% Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouthrinse formulations containing 0.12% or 0.03% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX): 1) yield similar or better clinical results regarding the inhibition of de novo plaque growth compared to those achieved with an already marketed 0.12% CHX mouthrinse (Perio-Aid Treatment without alcohol. Dentaid, Spain), 2) reduce the side effects caused by the marketed 0.12% CHX formula and 3) that these mouthrinses have no negative microbiological effects, and they control total bacterial loads.

  • 0.12%NFDrug

    Participants were asked to rinse every 12 hours, with 15 ml for 30 seconds, and after spitting to refrain from rinsing their mouths with water and from eating or drinking for at least 60 minutes.

  • 0.03%NFDrug

    Participants were asked to rinse every 12 hours, with 15 ml for 30 seconds, and after spitting to refrain from rinsing their mouths with water and from eating or drinking for at least 60 minutes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 0.12%NF, 0.03%NF and PAT in people with Dental Plaque and Side Effects, run by Universitat Internacional de Catalunya at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 18 Jul 2014. 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 Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Percentage of participants with greater reduction of plaque regrowth and side effects. (time frame: Baseline to 4 days.). 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jul 2014.
