Evaluation of Mouthwash Use in Hygiene and Recovery After Interventions in Gums

Lacer S.A.100 enrolled

Overview

The goal of this study was to learn if mouthwash works in aiding the healing of the gum tissue after trauma or dental procedure. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does mouthwash aid the healing of gum tissue? * Does mouthwash help to reduce the pain? * Is the mouthwash well accepted by the volunteers? Researchers will compare mouthwash to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active ingredient) to see if mouthwash works to improve gum tissue healing. Participants will: * Use mouthwash or a placebo every day for 15 days * Visit the dental clinic once a week for evaluations * Keep a diary of their symptoms

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Healing evaluation

Healing of the oral mucosa after the dental procedure was evaluated by the dentist on a 3 grade Likert scale (0 was good, 1 was acceptable, 2 was bad) taking into account wound edges, oral mucose colour and wound closure. The reduction of the score corresponded to improvement if the wound healing.

Time frame: The parameters were evaluated after the procedure and after 7 and 15 days of product use.

Secondary Outcomes

Pain intensity evaluation

Pain was evaluated on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain and 10 is the maximum pain. Reduction of the number corresponded to pain improvement.

Time frame: Pain was evaluated y subjects on a daily basis from procedure until day 7.
