About this trial

The study will be conducted as a prospective, double-blind, parallel, randomized, placebo-controlled study at the Dental Clinic of University Medical Centre Ljubljana. It will involve a one-month test period, during which the test subjects will use either placebo, Electrolysed Oxidising Saline (EOS) or chlorhexidine (CHX) in the form of a mouthwash as an adjunct to the non-surgical treatment of chronic periodontitis (i.e. root planing and scaling). The study will include 60 subjects selected from consecutively scheduled patients referred by their personal dentists for periodontal treatment at the Dental Clinic of University Medical Centre Ljubljana.
