Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparing Mouth Rinses (and Chewing Gum) in Regard to Streptococcus Mutans Reduction (NCT NCT02598778)

NCT ID: NCT02598778

Last Updated: 2022-10-31

Results Overview

Oral salivary sample obtained and plated on MSB (mitis salivarius-bacitracin) agar petri dish to determine Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) levels. Values in each row in the Outcome Measure Data Table represent percentage change (increase denoted by positive number, decrease denoted by negative number) in S. mutans colonies from baseline (pre rinse/chew) sample for a single participant within that particular Arm/Group. Row titles have been arbitrarily identified as 'First Participant', 'Second Participant', 'Third Participant' and 'Fourth Participant.' No values are shown for 'Third Participant' and 'Fourth Participant' for the Chlorhexidine gluconate (0.12%) and Deionized water Arm/Group since only 2 participants were enrolled within each group. One result is obtained from each pre and post sample combination (percentage change).

Sodium Fluoride (0.05%)
An oral rinse given to pediatric patients in routine practice within the standard of care. Sodium Fluoride oral rinse (0.05%): 30 second oral rinse expectorate of 10mL of solution
Paraffin Wax Chewing Gum (Sugar-free)
A food product serving as placebo. Paraffin wax chewing gum (sugar-free): 2 minutes of chew time prior to salivary sample being obtained

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Sample obtained at baseline (pre rinse/chew) and immediately after treatment (post rinse/chew). Timed for 30 seconds (oral rinses) or 2 minutes (chewing gum)

Population: 1 pre (baseline) and post sample was collected and analyzed from each participant. As such, there were 2 pre and 2 post samples for the Chlorhexidine gluconate Arm/Group, 4 pre and 4 post samples for the Sodium Fluoride Arm/Group, 4 pre and 4 post samples for the Paraffin wax chewing gum Arm/Group, and 2 pre and 2 post samples for the Deionized water Arm/Group. Values in Outcome Measure Data table reflects percentage change (increase/decrease) in S. mutans colonies from pre (baseline) to post.
