Studies
DioxiBrite™ Toothpaste
- Efficacy Evaluation of a Chlorine Dioxide Containing Toothpaste (DioxiBrite™) on Plaque and Gingivitis
L. Mueller-Joseph, State University of New York at Farmingdale, Dept. of Dental Hygiene, Farmingdale, NY
A double blind study in 14 patients showed that DioxiBrite™ toothpaste was statistically significantly (p> 0.0482) better than Colgate's TOTAL® for plaque reduction, and as effective in treating gingivitis. These results are significant given that TOTAL has FDA approval for these indications.
