Theranovis Dental Gel in Patients With Gingivitis

This study will be conducted at the Medical University of Graz and will include a total of 20 participants, divided into two groups (10 participants per group). One group will receive theranovis dental gel, while the other group will receive a placebo product. Participants will be randomly assigned to the groups using a randomization list created before the start of the study.

The dental gel should be applied with a manual toothbrush every morning and evening after toothbrushing, left in place for 30 seconds without swallowing, and then spat out without rinsing with water afterward.

Participation in the study is expected to last 8 weeks. Study-related procedures include a professional dental cleaning at baseline, assessment of baseline values and repeated measurements of these parameters every 2 weeks during the study.
