U.S., Oct. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07880509) titled 'Effectiveness of Pre-Procedural CPC and Zinc Mouthwash in Reducing Dental Aerosols' on Oct. 07.

Brief Summary: This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of pre-procedural mouthwashes in reducing bacterial contamination in dental aerosols generated during ultrasonic scaling. Participants undergo a single-day clinical visit where they receive a randomized pre-procedural rinse (or control) followed by full-mouth ultrasonic prophylaxis. Viable bacteria in aerosols collected on agar plates surrounding the dental unit are measured to determine whether rinsing with an alcohol-free mouthwash containing 0.09% Cetylpyridinium Chloride (...
