[Clinical studies on the short term use of "Kavosan"].

Abstract

The inflammation and plaque-inhibiting effect of KAVOSAN was tested in 43 probands with gingivitis in two test series. Irrespective of the type of oral care, a statistically significant improvement in the degree of inflammation and a reduction of plaque were observed after application of the active agent when compared to a placebo preparation, both in cases where plaque was removed as well as cases where plaque was not removed.
