NEW clinical study – Corsodyl enhances the mechanical clean in everyday mouths vs regular toothpaste
Clinically proven to significantly improve gum health measures from 3 weeks in patients with localised gingivitis1
A new Corsodyl clinical study shows the significant gum health improvements achieved when brushing twice daily for patients with localised gingivitis:**1
- 63% had an improvement in bleeding index in week 3†
- There were ~2.5x fewer bleeding sites with Corsodyl vs non sodium bicarbonate toothpaste
- 59% saw improvements in just 3 weeks in bleeding† – this feedback can help patients stay on track
- Almost twice as many patients returned to gum health after 12 weeks brushing vs regular toothpasteǂ
*Bleeding index, modified gingival index, number of bleeding sites, Turesky plaque index vs a regular toothpaste**as classified by the EFP – 10-30% BOP, pocket depth <3mm.†vs baselineǂ<10% bleeding sites as per the new classification
A new approach to study design to reflect patients’ everyday lives
This most recent oral health study for the Corsodyl brand was created to reflect everyday brushing conditions:1
- Subjects with localised gingivitis – 10-30% BOP, pocket depth <3mm according to the EFP classification
- Subjects with everyday plaque levels – there was no professional prophylaxis prior to the study
- Oral hygiene was undertaken in the home environment – twice daily brushing for at least one minute
Alastair Lomax, Medical Director comments “Daily plaque control is the key factor in stopping the progression of gingivitis. Despite the best intentions, real life distractions mean patients may struggle to maintain plaque removal every day. This new study has allowed us to demonstrate the superior efficacy of Corsodyl toothpaste with 67% sodium bicarbonate for patients with localised gingivitis and everyday plaque levels. It highlights the incremental difference a change in a patient’s toothpaste can make to enhance their daily brushing compared to a regular toothpaste with twice daily brushing.”
The disruptive action of sodium bicarbonate
Sodium bicarbonate penetrates the plaque matrix, where it disrupts and breaks the bonds in the biofilm to loosen plaque.2 As a result, Corsodyl softens the plaque on the tooth surface, making it easier to brush away.
