U.S., Dec. 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07309679) titled 'Effectiveness of Herbal vs Chlorhexidine Mouthwashes in Improving Oral Health in Schoolchildren' on Dec. 16.
Brief Summary: Dental plaque and gingivitis are common oral health problems among school children. Mechanical plaque control, such as tooth brushing, is essential but may be insufficient for maintaining optimal oral hygiene. Chlorhexidine mouthwash is considered the gold standard chemical plaque control agent; however, its long-term use is limited by side effects such as tooth staining and taste alteration. In recent years, herbal mouthwashes have gained attention as natural alternatives with fewer adverse effects.
