Efficacy of a new mouth rinse formulation based on 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride in the control of plaque and gingivitis: a 6-month randomized clinical trial Costa, Xavi Laguna, Estefanía Herrera González, David Serrano, Jorge Alonso Álvarez, Bettina María Sanz Alonso, Mariano Aim: To assess the efficacy of a 0.07% cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) mouth rinse in the control of plaque and gingival inflammation during a 6-month period. Material and methods: Adult subjects with moderate gingivitis were selected [≥40% bleeding on marginal probing (BOMP)]. After retrieving microbiological samples and evaluating the clinical parameters (plaque, BOMP and stain indexes), a professional prophylaxis was performed and subjects were randomly assigned to the test (CPC mouth rinse) or to the placebo group. Subjects were re-assessed after 3 and 6 months. Results: A total of 67 patients (35 test, 32 placebo) were included in the analysis. At 6 months, intra-group significant plaque reductions were observed in the test group (0.691, p < 0.001), but not in the placebo (0.181, p = 0.653). At 6 months, the mean BOMP values were lower in the test group (p = 0.052). Changes between baseline and 6 months were significantly higher in the test group both for plaque (p = 0.002) and BOMP (p = 0.037) when compared with the placebo. A microbiological impact was observed in the test group, especially for Prevotella intermedia. Conclusion: The evaluated 0.07% CPC-based mouth rinse, used three times per day adjunctively to mechanical tooth cleaning, prevents plaque accumulation and gingival inflammation, as compared to the placebo, for at least 6 months. 2024-02-02T15:29:31Z 2024-02-02T15:29:31Z 2024-02-02T15:29:31Z 2013 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/98398 0303-6979 10.1111/jcpe.12158 1600-051X eng Costa X, Laguna E, Herrera D, Serrano J, Alonso B, Sanz M.
