In the present study the authors were concerned with the effect of “DENCURE” tooth paste on the chronic marginal periodontitis. Two kinds of tooth paste (DENCURE with tested agent and placebo) were selected for the experiment.
They were instructed to clean teeth with the tooth paste for three minutes after each breakfast, lunch and dinner. This study was conducted with double blind method. The results were summarized as follows. (1) Significant curings in redness, swelling, bleeding, pus discharge and depth of gingival pocket were recognized with tooth paste (with tested agent and placebo). (2) In the whole patients, there were significant difference in recovery of redness, bleeding and depth of gingival pocket between “DENCURE” and placebo (p<0.01).
(3) “DENCURE” was significantly much superior in the effect of the tooth paste agent to placebo (p<0.01).
(4) No particular side effect was observed through this study.
