ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of a special mouthwash containing resveratrol, a natural antioxidant, on bad breath (halitosis) and gum health in dental students. The goal is to see if using this mouthwash can reduce bacteria that cause bad breath and improve gum conditions over a week. The trial focuses on undergraduate students at Mustansiriyah University and Wasit University who have gingivitis, a condition that can lead to swollen and bleeding gums.

To participate, students need to be between 20 and 23 years old, have at least 20 teeth, and show signs of bad breath related to gingivitis. They should not have used any mouthwash or dental treatments in the past week and must be free from certain health conditions and habits, such as smoking or drinking alcohol. If eligible, participants will use the mouthwash for seven days and help researchers understand its effectiveness in improving oral health and reducing bad breath.
