NEW clinical study – parodontax is proven to enhance removal of everyday plaque* even in hard-to-reach areas†

Photo of a toothbrush and a tube of parodontax Active Gum Repair toothpaste with the text “parodontax – because you can’t be there when they brush, parodontax can. parodontax is proven to improve gum health in patients with gingivitis in a new clinical study.”

Clinically proven to improve gum health outcomes from 3 weeks in patients with localized gingivitis without professional cleaning, to help patients stay on track between dental visits*1

A new parodontax clinical study shows the significant gum health improvements in 4 key gum health indices achieved when brushing twice daily in 3 weeks for patients with localized gingivitis:*

  • 90% had improvements in NBS, BI, MGI and interproximal TPI in week 3** - this feedback can help patients stay on track*
  • There was a 60% reduction in gingival bleeding (MBI score) in 3 weeks with parodontax††
  • 58% reduction in number of bleeding sites in 3 weeks^
  • 9x greater plaque reduction in hard-to-reach areas vs brushing with a sodium fluoride toothpaste in 12 weeksǂ

Stop gum disease in its tracks in just 3 weeks by brushing with parodontaxǂǂ

†compared to regular toothpaste with no professional prophylaxis at the start of the study and based on twice daily brushing vs baseline*Measured by bleeding index, number of bleeding sites, mean gingival index and Turesky plaque index vs baseline based on twice daily brushing vs baseline.**Vs 34% for NBS, 36% for BI, 44% for MGI, and 55% for interproximal TPI for sodium fluoride toothpaste.

A new approach to parodontax study design to reflect how patients brush in their everyday lives*

This most recent oral health study for the parodontax brand was created to reflect everyday brushing conditions:**1

  • Subjects with localized 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 parodontax toothpaste with stannous fluoride for patients with localized gingivitis and everyday plaque levels compared to brushing with sodium fluoride toothpaste. It highlights the incremental difference a change in a patient’s toothpaste can make to enhance their daily brushing compared to a regular non-stannous toothpaste with twice daily brushing.”

The science of stannous fluoride formulations

Stannous fluoride is proven to have broad spectrum antibacterial properties.* Learn more about how stannous fluoride, found in parodontax, disrupts the metabolic activity of bacteria in oral biofilm and inhibits glycolysis to prevent the survival and growth of bacteria associated with gingivitis.
