Clinical Study on Effect of Selenium-enriched Wheat Grass Toothpaste on Reducing Gingival Inflammation and Control-ling Dental Plaque
Objective:To investigate the clinical impact of toothpaste enriched with selenium-rich wheat grass.Methods:Following the principles of randomized,double-blind,controlled design,72 participants aged 18 to 65 years were randomly assigned to either the experimental group(using selenium-rich wheat grass toothpaste)or the control group(using no selenium-rich wheat grass toothpaste).The gingival index,gingival bleeding index,and plaque index were evaluated at baseline,1 month,3 months,and 6 months after treatment.Results:At 1,3 and 6 months,the mean scores of gingival index in experimental group and control group were 1.16±0.10 and 1.26±0.22,0.99±0.91 and 1.21±1.16,0.92±0.11 and 1.01±0.11,respectively.The mean scores of gingival sulcus bleeding index in the experimental group and control group were 1.12±0.23 and 1.24±0.27,1.05±0.11 and 1.13±0.15,0.91±0.12 and 1.05±0.09,respectively.The mean scores of plaque index in the experimental group and control group were 1.37±0.20 and 1.54±0.19,1.14±0.21 and 1.37±0.24,0.98±0.16 and 1.21±0.22,respectively.Notably,no adverse effects were observed during this clinical study.Conclusion:Selenium-enriched wheat grass toothpaste significantly hampers dental plaque formation,alleviates gingivitis,and enhances gum health.
