The Plaque- and Gingivitis Inhibiting Capacity of a Commercially Available Mouthwash Containing Essential Oils and Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate: A Parallel, Split-mouth, Double Blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Clinical Study
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Experimental: essential oils and ELA, Placebo, and 1 other intervention for Dental Plaque and Gingivitis. Completed, enrolled 59 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
A commercially available mouth rinse with ethyl lauroyl arginate and essential oils claims to have enhanced antimicrobial properties as compared to the traditional essential oil products. The aim of the present study was to compare the plaque and gingivitis inhibiting effect of the commercial product containing essential oils with ethyl lauroyl arginate with one placebo and one negative control in a modified experimental gingivitis model. In three groups of healthy volunteers, experimental gingivitis was induced and monitored over 21 days, simultaneously treated with the commercial test solution, 21.6% hydro-alcohol solution and sterile water respectively. The maxillary right quadrant of each individual received mouthwash only, whereas the maxillary left quadrant was subject to both rinsing and mechanical oral hygiene. Compliance and side effects were monitored at day 7, 14, and 21. Plaque and gingivitis scores were obtained at baseline and at day 21.

Timeline
Interventions
The participants were instructed to insert the tooth guard in Q1 every time they brushed their teeth and to perform a mechanical oral hygiene routine twice a day in the three other quadrants. After brushing properly, they were instructed to rinse for 30s with water before removing the tooth guard. And then rinse again for 30s with water without the mouth guard. Following this procedure the participants rinsed, as instructed, with the Experimental solution, Listerine Gum Therapy. This oral hygiene routine was repeated for 21d.
