Oral malodor reduction by a combination of chemotherapeutical and mechanical treatments.

Bacterial proliferation and plaque accumulation on the surface of the tongue are major factors contributing to oral malodor. In this research, we used subjective and objective methods to evaluate the breath benefit of a triclosan-containing dentifrice (Blend-a-Med Complete Night) with and without tongue brushing in a randomized, examiner-blinded, three-period crossover clinical trial. Twenty-nine adults (mean age 40.

Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic effects in gingival crevicular fluid from re-dosing during brushing.

The IntelliClean System from Sonicare and Crest combines a rechargeable sonic power toothbrush and a novel liquid toothpaste into one integrated system, providing the opportunity to re-dose with toothpaste during the brushing cycle. The purpose of this study was to investigate cleaning effects from in-mouth re-dosing with toothpaste during the brushing cycle vs conventional bolus dosing. This was a randomized, examiner-blind, six-period, crossover clinical study.
